Went to the British Musuem today. Saw some African art which was a change from lots of Egyptain and European art. I also saw lots of Asian pieces. Plenty of various gods and buddhas. There is a lot of Egyptian stuff here. Lots of preserved mummies. There were also mummified animals- cat, bird, crocodile, bull's head, baboon. Saw the Rosetta Stone which was very popular.
