British Museum London

While i was in London i made the mistake of visiting Buckingham palace. It was crap. Armed police swarmed around it so i couldnt get anywhere near it and the building itself was nothing special. If i was queen id have a better house than that. So after a dissapointingly short visit to that dump, we noticed signs to the British museum and went there. It was late afternoon so we only had an hour in there, i couldnt believe the size of the place and could have easily spent all day in there, the exhibitions covered all world cultures, displaying various artefacts from the last 2 million years. I found the exhibition on the meaning of life and death in different parts of the world really interesting, it described so many different rituals and beliefs, & there was a piece by an artist whose name iv forgotton, but it was basically a display of a huge number of pills, surrounded by various photos and other personal objects. The idea was to make the viewer consider the number of pills we take in a lifetime, using two different individuals as an example. Visually i didnt find it that exciting but once id read the point of it i spent ages looking at it.
Next time im in London ill definetly go back cos i didnt even see half of it in that hour.
