Museums, museums, and, astoundingly, more museums.

London likes it's museums. Big museums. And so do I cos I'm a nerd! So over the past few days I've been fortunate enough to have some time to start checking them out. And I say "start checking them out" cos I've only really looked at bits and pieces of the museums pictured below.

Rant alert, rant alert:
God, seriously, there are soooooooo many people at these museums who walk around with their digital video cameras and just seriously take footage of everything in the whole damn building. It's as if they're scoping he place out for a raid or something. But not me. I think the whole fun of going to a muesum is that you are actually there and you can see a ridiculously huge dinosaur skeleton right in front of you! As if it's gonna look as cool on your TV screen. To these people I say "Why not just hire Jurassic Park on DVD and be done with it?! You'd obviously enjoy it!" However, I did take a few photos of stuff that just made me go: "wowzer!". And I can justify each one - and I will. End of rant.

This is the ceiling of the middle area of the British Museum.

I thought I'd had enough for the day at the Science Museum when I entered a room with this thing in it. And I thought, hey, that looks like a really big version of the model of a NASA Apollo Command Module that my Dad used to show me when I was small. Turns out, it wasn't just a big version of that model, it was the actual Command Module from the Apollo 10 mission around the moon.

It was even all melty on the bottom from entering back into Earth's atmosphere!

The Natural History Museum was really big. See? It has to be big to fit all the cool stuff inside.

On the day I went to the Natural History Museum there was an Ice Sculpting Festival on outside.

This doesn't have anything to do with museums but I laughted to myself when I saw it. I have a soft spot for silly graffiti.
