The British Museum

The museum is unbelievable. There are floors of interesting artifacts from all over the world. The British Museum is very unique in the following ways.

• Free admission
• Photography allowed

I planned to explore the museum for about 1 hour but I got so caught up in the exhibits that I lost track of time. In fact I was so mesmerized by the exhibits I forgot to watch the steps at one point and I fell down three stairs landing hard on my knees. I realized I had missed the steps when gravity started to do its job and I knew I was going down hard. My knees were stinging but my camera along with my dignity was intact. It seemed everyone looked but when I was able to get up everyone went about their exploring. A kind gentleman inquired if I was okay. He suggested that I sit down a bit and I did! He continued to exam a picture but he was watching me unobtrusively because the minute I touched my wrist twisting it around he said," Did you injure your wrist in the tumble?" I thanked him for his concern and I told him no worries even though my knees were stinging like crazy. My exploring did not end after the "tumble" but I continued exploring for about 2 and a half hours more. Going up and down the stairs was painful because I was wearing jeans that rubbed against my injured knees but it was worth the pain. If you ever visit the British Museum:

• mind the steps
• bring your camera
• take lots of pictures
  
• plan to explore longer than planned
