This the second part of my London trip entries :) during my stay there, i spent most of my time on the bed, traveling the tube and hanging around in the museums with dead people and animals :)

First off, is the Science Museum. In the picture above, the big red round thing is a sculpture of the earth, made out of steel and people going in and out of it. Kinda symbolic of life, if you ask me :) either that or a lolipop.

A Dead Neanderthal Dude or was it chick, can't remember:







Next stop was the Natural History Museum. Somewhere down the list of the things i wanna do in life, is seeing skeleton of a dinosaur, i can check that out now :)





Down here is a life size sculpture of Mr Darwin.



A cross section cut of a tree, which was already around a few hundred years before Prophet Muhammad was born, and continued living for about 1.5k years in total. You guys couldn't see from this picture, but on top of it, there is a list of major events that happened during that span of time, sorted chronologically.





The last museum i went to, the British Museum.

























Tourists? and some kids on a field trip. There were a whole bunch of them, from different schools running around, taking notes and drawing the things that interest them. Their teachers tried explaining to them about the history of the things there, about pharaohs, roman empires, etc - i am sure that all they heard was white noise :) who wants to listen to a boring history lecture, when u can play hide seek.















Lewis chess set, if i am not mistaken, made out of ivory.



This machine used to make plates for printing money.



The Rosetta Stone.





A crooked panorama of the Museum - i really suck at this :(
