The British Museum

When I arrived, I was shown to the back entrance where the "free" tickets were. Forutnately, there wasn't too much of a wait. 

My memories of the museum were of the outstanding collection of mummies of all shapes, sizes, and type:

My guidebook had some special must-see items:

The Portland Vase

The Lewis Chessmen

The Astrolabe

 

There is much controversy regarding the Elgin Marbles. I saw a collection at the Acropolis Museum, where some of them had been returned.
