When you enter the British Museum you are struck with the scale, the beautiful architecture and the clean modern look of it all. The entrance into the Great Court is dazzling to any newcomer and when the roof was put on in 2000 it was the largest covered area in Europe. The coalescense of old and new is monumentally striking and neither jarring nor gaudy.
I love museums and the British Museum rivals any I have ever been in. There are artefacts from every age of history and millions of individual items. I could spend a week in this place and never get bored.
If you are in London, you have to go. If not for your own interest then at least go on my behalf.
