A day at the museum

[Geoffrey S]

Over New Year I was in London, and couldn't resist spending yet another day at the British Museum. This time, however, I had a camera, although it was mainly the shiniest objects which caught the eye of my lens... Regardless, I figured there'd be interested people here so here goes. Please note that I can't quite remember what exactly everything was, so I've lumped them together into groups.

Celtic




Assyrian


Hellenic




Saxon



Other (v.l.n.r. Sassanid coin (Sargon II?), Baktrian coins, Byzantine work, Sabaean monument, decorated Roman helmet)



And as a conclusion, I urge anyone visiting London to check out the British Museum. I've been there several times, each time spending a whole day in awe of the incredible collection present. I could well imagine anyone interested in the historical aspects of EB finding it utterly fascinating, and as an added incentive it's free!

Enjoy!
