In the morning we went directly to the British Museum, a museum dedicated to the cultural history of the world with the largest permanent exhibition in the world.
British Museum
Upon our arrival, there was already quite a bit of activity, but it became increasingly crowded throughout the day.
Antique Exhibition In some exhibition rooms, we had to push through the crowds while simultaneously trying to navigate around the Asian group.
