A break from work a trip to the British Museum

Last Thursday we went on a class trip to the British Museum which is located in London the purpose of this trip you ask well the trip was to look at the existing and used board games mainly Sennett and Ur however they did have various other game pieces. what was even more interesting is that we were guided around by Irving Finkel who is an Archaeologist   and assistant keeper of the middle east department of the museum. So after that whirlwind tour around the game pieces we were left to our own devices and wondered around the museum I spent most of my looking around the exhibits mainly the witchcraft and Japanese exhibits which were both quite interesting(however there were still so many exhibits that I wanted to have a look at but never got round though...) although this was the first time I had been to the British museum i found it lacking something (I think this mainly due to the fact that I have stronger interest in natural history and science.) overall it was a good trip and it reminded me that there is only so much you can get from reading  you  need to go out and preform your own reaserch take this as advice  to anyone who  has ( unluckily)  stumbled across this blog
