The Jericho skull temporary exhibit is great.

Sad they need to include this disclaimer to prevent them being detonated.

How much time do you need to see everything? Is it worth going?

I'll be honest lads, I've had better...

>>2450661
This is one of my personal favourites. I always go and look at it when I go up there.

>>2450973

Yes. VERY worth going if you have even the slightest interest in history. Ideally you need multiple visits to see everything, but a full day devoted just to the British Museum should let you see everything. You can probably rush through and see the highlights in a few hours though.

>>2450435
Is this /brithis/?

Not OP lads but I'm new here in the UK and did some digging to find a dude who runs a Rhodesian museum out of his attic, I emailed one of his friends who said they'd contact him but he never got back to me. I'll give it a while, in the next few weeks I should go and maybe post pics if there's any interest.

Also, /r/ing any info on memorials for colonialism or the bushwar, I've jotted down a few.

>>2451020

It was /britmus/. It's presently /britanonannoyedhecantreadatrainststiontimetablecorrectly/

>>2450565
>>2450568
Why was it defaced?

>>2451417

The info board says it was probably Christians who put crosses on statues of pagan gods and emperors, "either as an act of exorcism or to purify them with a christening"
