Natural History Museum, London

The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London.

Went out walking. Found myself at the Natural History Museum. London is full of buildings like this. The building is magnificent – inside and out. But inside especially, the building is a testament to the craft and engineering skills of master builders who are long gone, and the likes of which we may never see again.

I spent several hours walking through the Museum, and although I enjoyed the displays, I was fascinated more by the construction, than I was by what the Museum housed.

The exhibits are very modern – as they need to be these days. After all, the vast majority of visitors to the Natural History Museum were school students and tourists. The average age of visitors seemed to be somewhere between late teens and early twenties.

Found internet café and uploaded two video blogs to YouTube. Must update my Honouring the Muse blog as well.

Total spending today: GBP:20.65 (AU$44.70)
