Day 2: Medieval Europe Gallary, British Mueseum


now that you've seen an actual building of middle age history, its time you See the artwork and science from the time period. The British museum resembles human history since the beginning of time for our species. The museum has 7 million objects to teach about humans. The museum since standing from 1759, has a medieval gallery, and that's what we want you to look at. The exhibit contains items relevant to the time period of 1050 to 1540 AD. The exhibit has artwork depicting what life was like. Have objects such as the citole, a musical instrument of that time. Also having Gothic architecture and christian artwork including sculptures of Christ to show how religion played a huge role of that time. Wars, crusades, trade, and pilgrimage are also depicted and much more. The rating would be 8/10, because of its such great detail and artwork that describes the story. Of course it always would be better if you could see things of the middle ages outside of a museum. Hotels include the Montague on the gardens, a 4 and a half star hotel that is a little expensive but well worth it as its close to the museum and is great overall. The Ivy is also a great place to grab a bite and hit the airport to France.
