british museum



After living in London for three years I thought it was about time to go to the British Museum for the first time. The architecture (or should I say engineering?) of the roof is really amazing and so are the exhibitions. Being a bit of a geek in Roman and Ancient Greek history I headed for "Greece and Rome". What I don't quite understand why the Ancient Near East is in the West though...

Nachdem ich drei Jahre in London wohne, habe ich es neulich fuer an der Zeit gehalten, mal das British Museum zu besichtigen. Die Architektur (oder genau die Ingenieurskunst) des Dachs im Innenhof sind wirklich genial und so sind auch viele der Exponate. Als ehemaliger Geek im Bereich Griechenland und Rom habe ich mich natuerlich in den entsprechenden Bereich aufgemacht. Was ich aber nicht ganz verstanden habe ist, warum der Alte Nahe Osten im Westen zu finden ist.

Great architecture and nice shot. I went twice to the Brithish Museum but think I haven't seen everything yet!

Yes, the engineering is quite interesting, isn't it? I'd also like to see it; another trip perhaps!

Amazing perspective. When I went to the British Museum I was completely in awe of the engineering.
