Entrance to the British Museum






Interior "grounds"








 
Big Egyptian stuff









Assyrian lion hunt

Elgin Marbles; they had a very defensive pamphlet about
rights to the Elgin Marbles, how they came by them, why
they are not going to give them back to the Greeks, etc.

Paleolithic handaxes, always a favorite

Bust of Augustus, from the Roman tour

Roman-Briton I have always liked

James Smith and Sons umbrellas, an icon
