I planned to pay a visit long time ago and at last went to there this afternoon. We just covered the path along the special hall of The British Museum after 250 years. From the Prehistory, to Ancient Egypt, from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece, and with Ancient Rome and Early Europe, Asia, Oceania, East Asia & South Asia, and to Islamic, still on with Medieval, Renaissance & Later Europe. Really a long walk through all these halls, so we didn't spare much time to see all the other exhibitions for fine artistic collection of ancient Chinaware.

Let's introduce sth that impressed me. In the Ancient Egypt hall, the Greenfield Papyrus is incredibly handed down with the fragile material. And the talisman sculptured with beetles and fingers reflected the worship at that time. In the Mesopotamia hall, the most famous satatue is the Ashurnasirpal II, the one on the ad with a sword in the left hand. He looks quiet with the growing beard. And then came with the first kind of helmets called Corinthian and the Ptolemy gold coins. I learnt that empire from an astronomy book. It surely had a brilliant civilization with the developed astronomic knowledge. The statues in this hall appear to be more natural and expertized. I get to know the King Hadrian from the Ancient Rome Hall. With all kinds of silver wares.

It's really big and we're already getting sour in the legs. Especially for the ban of drinks. So we sped up to the end and I DIDN'T take much note afterwards. But I want to mention the Hall of Medival and Renaissance is worth a visit. Some famous paintings are being showed there. If you have time, be sure to slow down your pace and appreciate them.

And we went to souvenir area to see what's on sell, but u know, it's always been expensive and worthless to buy things there, cause the most important thing, I suppose, is the impression and knowledge you get, together with the feeling of the World's history.

As an elder said, though I partially disagree, the British Museum can have such treasurers is attributed of the colonial history and the invasion of other countries. But it hits the point.

We just spent not more than 3 hours in the show because of the tiredness. But I feel that it's a great chance for us to approach the ancient treasurers at our museums. Anyway, go and feel  in your way.
