British Museum

Rosetta Stone

After the Portobello Market, we decided to finish our afternoon at the British Museum.  Of all the museums we've been able to visit, this is probably one of our favorites.  Where else can you see the Rosetta Stone,  Egyptian mummies, ancient Greek and Roman artifacts that pre-date Christ, a giant head from Easter Island, and samurai armor from medieval Japan?  Best of all,

Portland Vase -- Roman glass vase circa
25 BC - 15 AD 

it's free.  The building is enormous, and you easily can lose track of time wandering from gallery to gallery.  Even though we've been before, we only scratched the surface during our visit, so maybe we can find time to
return before we leave London.
