No visit to the the British Museum would be complete without at least a short visit to the antiquities section to see some of the Roman, Greek, and Assyrian permanent collection. Above is a portion of one if the metopes from the Parthenon.

I am Ashurbanipal King of the world, King of Assyria
Our next outing was to the British Museum to see the special exhibit about Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria. This is an amazing collection of art, writings, and everyday items from a long ago world that now resides in a place being torn apart and destroyed by war. I feel privileged to be able to see this material. As always, the British Museum has once again managed to bring the world to London to save me the pain of traveling to see it.
