The British Museum was established in 1753 and is now home to over eight million artefacts.

The most popular part of the museum is the Egyptian collection. We had a chance to see school children working on their assignments in the museum. Each one of them had a scrap book and they were supposed to copy an element from the original Egyptian fresco.  Later, their work will be used by their school to produce birthday and greeting cards.
