tji***bjToday, I was fortunate to embark on a cultural journey across time and space under the guidance of teacher Diana, starting from the glorious civilization of ancient Egypt, as if I was riding a time machine and traveling through the history and art of all parts of the world.
Teacher Diana from Beijing is elegant and knowledgeable, as if the entire British Museum is her "home". She knows every exhibit well, just like taking a walk in her own back garden, and every detail is at her fingertips. Her explanation is easy to understand, rigorous and professional, and full of fun, which makes people sigh at her profound knowledge and expression ability.
At the beginning, I was still worried that the three-hour guided tour would be too long, but soon found that the worry was completely unnecessary. Every minute was full of surprises and gains, time passed quickly, and in the end I felt that I was still not satisfied! If there is a chance, I will definitely sign up for a ten-hour or even longer in-depth tour without hesitation.
What impressed me more was the strong "Beijing gene" in teacher Diana. Her hearty atmosphere and humor made the whole explanation process both friendly and vivid, completely breaking the stereotype of traditional museum tours. When I listened to her explanation, I often couldn't help but smile while concentrating on the exhibits. It felt like listening to Song Dandan's jokes - interesting but thought-provoking.
As a museum lover, I always believe that an excellent guide can make a museum shine with a new charm. And Teacher Diana is the kind of person who can make a museum "alive".London1.2km from downtownFree entry

7.5227 Reviewsbased on 33.0k reviewszinnia_615The most beautiful museum If you can only see one museum If you choose between British and VA If you are a girl choose VA About the name: Victoria&Albert Museum, abbreviated as V&A, named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. About the collection: ① Many As the largest art and design museum in the UK, with more than 4.5 million exhibits spanning 5,000 years of history, second only to the British Museum. ② Variety of painting, sculpture, jewelry, architecture, costumes, photography and other fields can be called all-inclusive. ◎ Regarding the highlights: ① The high-value easy-to-release film itself is a luxurious and elegant Victorian building. Secondly, the design and layout of the exhibition hall are ingenious. Some people say that it is the level of cloth exhibition in the British Museum. It is true that I am amazed several times while watching. (Photo and write another post) ② Story as the private art museum of former Queen Victoria in Britain, the beauty and appreciation of the Queen, and the beautiful love story of the Queen and the Prince are undoubtedly also a major factor in attracting people to visit. ◎ Treasure of the Town Hall: Zida Vinci's Manuscript Hall 64, 1st Floor, Queen's Crown Hall 91, 2nd FloorLondon3.5km from downtownFree entry

唐毓小宝I thought it was just a display, but I didn't expect it to be very interesting. It is a museum remodeled by the station. So it is better to restore the original meaning of traffic. Next to Covent Garden, there are vehicles from all periods, including rickshaws/wagons/steam locomotives until modern ground transportation. There are also graphic displays and simulated driving. Many London locals also bring children to play. It's not lively, that is, the fare is not cheap.London464m from downtownFrom £24.51

放飞自我去游玩The museum is hidden in a white building with a long history. It was founded in 1857. The first floor of the entrance is standing with many large power machinery. Six large steam engines are performed twice a day. Unfortunately, we did not catch up. The steel industry is on display in the front hall on the second floor. Glass industrial machine tools and tools, as well as textile machinery, typewriters and printing machinery. There is also a ship history exhibition, there are aircraft and rockets in the aviation exhibition hall, there is also a computer exhibition hall, and there are also content on optical, electromagnetic, seismic observation, communication and aviation, as well as collections of medical history. We are dazzled and feel that there is too little time and it is not enough.London3.8km from downtownFree entry

yangduoduo17I just sat down to reminisce about our recent experience at the Postal Museum. I think it's one of the newer attractions in London. Let me tell you, they have a little bit of everything about the postal service here. Not a spoiler, go and enjoy an experience you never thought you'd have!London2km from downtownFrom £17.60

4.685 Reviewsyangduoduo17My first visit to Belfast was when I was 10 years old and now I am 59 and I am still as fascinated as I was then. If possible you have to go down to the engine room and boiler room. It is fascinating to see the internal structure of such a ship. For small children or those with mobility problems, these small corridors and vertical ladders are a workout and are very profoundly recognizedLondon3.1km from downtown
