Colombian Gold

The British Museum is such a wonderful place. There is so much to see, that despite the numerous visits, I still haven't viewed all of their collections.

This is made even more difficult when they have special exhibitions for a limited time. Some of them are not of much interest to me, but the others require another trip to London (which I don't mind at all) in order to see them before they move on.

This time it was a collection of Colombian Gold, some of it from the Museo de Oro in Bogota, and some of the items from the British Museum's own collection.

This we had to see.

So although photos were difficult to take inside (quite dark) we did thoroughly enjoy the experience.

A few photos from other areas of the museum we saw are below.

Of course we didn't just go to the museum, we also walked past the new (-ish) BBC building.

All Souls Church still stands tall next door:

And of course the obligatory pictures of the Houses of Parliament:

What luck to live so close to such a city !
