During this trip to Britain, I am full of expectations for the British Museum. Because when I was a child, I knew that Marx's Das Kapital was written by the British Museum. Moreover, the British Museum during the trip has two hours of sightseeing time and professional explanation. I think we must visit this most famous museum carefully.
The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in the Great Russell Square north of New Oxford Street in London, England. Founded in 1753, it is the oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum in the world. This museum collects many cultural relics and book treasures from all over the world. The richness and diversity of the collection is completely beyond my imagination.
According to critics, the British Museum currently has more than 8 million collections. If you stay in front of each collection for one minute, it will take 66 years to see all the collections. The idea that I want to visit the British Museum carefully before leaving is not only naive, but also ridiculous. There is no way but to follow the narrator step by step, starting from Babylon, the four ancient civilizations, and learn about the splendid civilization of Mesopotamia plain through the cultural relics in the exhibition hall. Then I came to the exhibition hall of ancient Roman Greek civilization and felt the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture. Then I went to the oldest ancient Egyptian museum. Mummies really don't have much aesthetic feeling, but they impressed me deeply. Finally, I came to the China Pavilion, where everything from the imperial edict to the large-scale stone carving Guanyin, from painted pottery and bronzes to tri-colored Tang Dynasty and all kinds of jade articles belonged to China elements.
According to the commentator, Queen Elizabeth II attended the opening ceremony of the China Pavilion. She especially likes the dragon wall, standing in front of it and taking pictures as a souvenir. The narrator is from China. He came to England on 1994. It's not easy to be an interpreter in the British Museum. You need to take three certificates. The tour guide is not allowed to give any explanation in the museum.
The two-hour visit time passed in a blink of an eye. The commentator led us out of the exhibition hall and stood in front of the cylindrical building at the entrance. I asked the commentator: What does this building do? The commentator reached out and pointed out that this is the British Library, and Max sat under this window and wrote Das Kapital. I felt very sorry when I walked out of the British Museum. I didn't even go in to have a look at the British Library.
After a long walk, I turned around and finally took a look at the British Museum with Romanesque architecture, thinking that I would be very lucky to walk into this building in my lifetime.
