The British Muesum - Part 1

After the Photographer's Gallery, we hit the British Museum. The Great Court is always astounding to gaze up at.

Masa was most interested in seeing the Egyptian Book of the Dead written on papyrus, a mummy and works by Hokusai, a Japanese artist who created The Wave and Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji.

We asked at the information desk where we could find the Book of the Dead and were told that it was being readied for a special display in March 2005. Strike 1.

We had a little lunch at the museum cafe then browsed around for an hour until it was time to meet Dr. Paul Roberts by the lion for our personal tour.
