Didn't see the murals I'm afraid. I found the BM rather a frustrating place. Like an old fashioned museum there are lots of glass cases with minimal interpretation. It'd certainly reward a more focussed visit to just one or two of the galleries with a good guidebook or knowledgeable friend.
As it was we spent lots of time with the Elgin marbles and zoomed through most of the other exhibits. A head-spinning experience.
good choice of building ... Did you see the recently opened gallery with the restored murals from the Egyptian tomb? could you identify all the birds?
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you DD.
