Mmm creepy... nice!
Marble
marble everywhere! (atrium)
one of the many entrances to the museum
Closeup of the mounted clock
There is alot to see at the entrance
The grand hallway
but nothing beats the main grand entrance
the cool suspended glass sculpture
you can't get enough granite and marble here
The lobby is centralised and lead to most galleries
The museum store by the lobby
it's just so nice to look at...
Do remember to check the times when you are there!
the museum holds regular free guided tours few times daily
in time for my guided tour!
Tours usually provide more insight to what you can read off the displays
The guides will cover so much of the artefacts
it just leaves you awe-ing at the detail!
few of the pieces on my tour
random box which worth alot of money. :3
stained glass thingies
sometimes guides can get rather carried away on explaining... :p
Tours usually follow the gallery layout, section by section
didn't know there's so much to a rug! :3
Love the clean galleries
Moving deeper in
Spick and span
Neato!
Got bronze?
Pinocchio's stone brothers
Ok, that's definately not a SEAT!
Mmmm, Tapestry...Yummy
Let there be light!
A gallery overlooking another
Wolfson!
Yup, from the Wolfson foundation
These must be Wolfson coins. :3
Mor-deival!
Any China collector's dream
Surprising many artefacts are donated too
Some of very respectable origins indeed
Wea-pon?
Got armour?
Plates, lots of them!
apparently, each small gallery here is worth up to millions of pounds. :3
and that's one hot ship!
meaning that everything here is really hot!
Hot Hot Hot!
