      Egyptian for me too. Though there are issues attached with whether we should return things to Egypt.

      Definitely. Although, I saw a Book of the Dead exhibit there and I’ll never forget it!

I went for the first time in ages recently too. You have to pick your exhibits with care to avoid the scrum, but it can be done!

Still busy as darkness falls? An inviting view.

  It stays open till 20:30 on a Friday 🙂
  And it was busy but only a short queue to get in. I hadn’t been for years and it was good to see the amazing building inside again.
