The More I Learn

the more I realize I don't know.

Dr. Paul Roberts, our upstairs neighbor and curator of the Ancient Greece and Rome collection at the British Museum lead us on an educational highlight tour of relics from these great civilizations. Paul met us at the lion in the Great Court and first talked about the amazing feat of constructing this beautiful covered space designed by architect Norman Foster.
