Ben and I went to the British Museum to see the Book of the Dead exhibition. It was fascinating and kept us enthralled for over two hours. Our pleasure was somewhat dampened by the presence of several parties of very young school children. One wonders why they were there seeing that most of the exhibits were tiny detailed paintings and manuscripts way above their heads both physically and intellectually. No matter, it was still a worthwhile experience. No photos of that but photography is permitted in the main galleries so these are a few of the treasures we saw.
