Hi there. I can't begin to tell you how fabulous of a day we had! We walked 2 blocks to the British museum. It is positively beautiful. The outside was impressive with beautiful architecture and columns that looks breath-taking. Then, you go inside and the space looks modern and contemporary. We are amazed at how the old and the contemporary mix in harmony over here. Truly beautiful.
I really liked the art aspect of the museum. Personally, I enjoyed Africa because I felt it had the most art-like pieces. I especially like the "Tree of Life" because of the art first and foremost and because of the story behind it. Please find the link and find out how they are turning guns into artwork in Africa. I really enjoyed the contemporary piece as you walk into the African exhibit. (See first photo) It is constructed of the foil toppers that seal wine bottles. The artists point of view is one of going green and reusing all aspects of our environment. I thought it was simply beautiful!
We took the audio tour of the museum. We had high tea upstairs in this beautiful environment and were delighted! We had little sandwiches, a biscuit, and small deserts. That was so much fun; like every little girl's dream. We lost track of time in the museum. I thought it was like 4:00 and it was already 7:00. We thoroughtly enjoyed ourselves. Please take the time to view it and leave comments for us to enjoy as well. It is very interesting!
