A Day at the London Museum

I woke up later than intended today and took my time getting ready to face the day, nevertheless, I spent the day wandering around the London Museum and enjoyed every single second of it.

Yes, even when the documentary on women’s suffrage had me teary-eyed.

I also might have spent more time than most people in the Pleasure Gardens exhibit that highlights the Regency era of Covent Garden, including some beautiful gowns and clothes from the era and a loop of acted scenes that mimic what the high society of London might have gotten up to in the Garden.

Following London from pre-Roman times all the way through the modern era including an installation featuring the creation of the 2012 London Olympic Cauldron, the trip was worth the donation as the Museum operates on donations to keep it free to the public.

An exception to this was the paid exhibit London Nights going on in one of the galleries but with the British Museum on my list for tomorrow I had to pass on spending the admittance fee.

Still and all, standing at a rail and overlooking part of the London Wall made the half-hour ride on the Underground and the negligible walk more than worth it.

Even if I had to run and hide in the Pleasure Gardens exhibit when other parts of the Museum were swarmed with kids on school trips…

More to come (including a few pictures!)
