At the British Museum, there is something for
everyone. In the Egyptian display, there are old
Egyptian mummies and there are some of the best
statues from the ancient period. There is also a
pyramid, it’s not a real one, but a huge model. You can
go inside and see what it’s like. The museum’s ancient
boat isn’t there now, because it’s back in Egypt.
In the room next to the Egyptian one, there are
treasures from Britain. There are gold and silver
artifacts, and diamonds, too. Behind this room, there is
an exhibition of the life of ordinary people in ancient
Britain. You can see the food they eat and the clothes
they wear. There is some meat and some vegetables,
but there aren’t any potatoes, because potatoes are a
new vegetable. The kitchen looks strange;, there is no
electricity and there aren’t any forks.
There is more, but there’s no time to tell you
everything!
