Ellie is Jen´s elder step-sister and she invites me for cake and drinks at the British Museum for her birthday.Situated close to Russell Square tube-station, this imposing building offers an eclectic assortment of artefacts pilfered from around the World, most notably the Elgin Marbles stolen from the Greeks.
It has been a very long time since my last visit and it looks even more impressive than i remembered. It boasts artefacts covering close to 2 million years. It is somewhat of a labyrinth to negotiate around and unless you give it a complete day of exploration, you are better to just focus on your specific interests.
There is currently an interesting exhibition of West African sculptures on display.
a cool African artefact The museum is open daily between 10am – 5.30pm with late evenings on Thursdays and Fridays.
Like all the major museums and galleries, entry is free, although begging bowls litter almost every gallery room.
