British Museum, London

Diary 2014-04
Where: British Museum, London
When: Saturday 7th June 2014

As a kid I loved London's Science Museum and hated the dull V&A and British Museums.  Last year the former seemed tired, the V&A full of life; today it's the latter.  Foster's glass roof magnificently spans the courtyard, calmly settling over the crowds with graceful curves.  Elgin's marbles elegantly displayed and skilfully explained.  The Rosette Stone a marvel of precision.  Too many people, too much to see, another time will have to do.
