British Museum (Part 2)

~Ancient Egypt~
This is my favorite gallery, i spent almost 1 hour in it. Among all museums I visited in US and UK, British Museum have the most mummies, and the related stuffs.





This kind quite special, different with what we usually see in the first picture. (sorry, I forgot to take a picture about the explanation, I also forgot what I read already.)


The following picture show us the possible appearance of the tomb of Hor.
(mean how they organize all the stuffs)

Could you use flash when taking pictures in the museum?

Wondering if Egyptians complain that this mummy collection 'hurts their feeling'...

I adopted him at the rescue center.. So I choose what they have there ;) Paying for charity is always better... AT least for me ;)

HI Kikey! Hopped in ~ Wonder where did they get those mummies? Is it their own collection? If those were from Egypt, man they've travelled a long way to transport those mummies (*-*)
