Personally I would rank the British museum on top of any other museums I have visited in the trip , including gallery of academia and museum of Louvre, mostly because of its massive and complete  collections.

Its like British has taken every best exhibition from its colonies or countries that she defeated. I personally feel like the Chinese collections are even better than the ones I saw in the forbidden city in both Beijing and Taiwan.

British museum is also famous for its Egyptian collections. Yes I agree it is the most complete collection of all.

Unlike any other Egyptian exhibition in other museums, the British museum collections are unbelievably perfect.

The scriptures are the best preserved ones and there’s even one mommy that you can still tell every single part of the body including the hair , which I think it’s hardly visible.

The museum is also big that it has every collection from every continent (it even had Eskimos what?!)

Zimbabwe money is interesting.
They made a poster using a collection of paper bill the country as printer paper and printed “it’s cheaper to print on these bills then printing it on paper”

It’s very funny but sad because of the countries inflation.
