More British Museum

Mum wrote this post yesterday that included some pics of the British Museum.  Here are a few more of some of the things we saw while there.   The place is HUGE and we only toured through the main floor which included Egypt, Assyria and Greece.  The other floors look at British, Asian and Roman history and we didn't even get a chance to look there.
