A few months ago, I went to London and I was able to visit the British Museum. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It was so much more wonderful than I thought it would be! First, I liked the fact that there were the four corners of the world in one place. Each piece of art made me travel to the country from which it came. Secondly, I really liked the Roman statues and the totem that was at the entrance of the museum. Since I love reading, I was in awe of the old bookshelves full of historical manuscripts and books that were so big that they reached the ceiling. The warm colours of the rooms and the mouldings on the ceiling made me want to walk around the museum forever.

The diversity of works of art was enormous. Indeed, there were books, shells, jewellery and weapons so everyone visiting the museum can be sure they will find something they like. During my visit, I learnt a lot about cultures I did not know. For example, the method of hunting or making clothes from certain countries…

I stayed there for hours and yet hours felt like minutes because of how engrossed I became. In conclusion, if you love world culture and art, you need to go to the British Museum!
