BES Assignment 2

Making Sense of it all: the Museum of London


Ok. Here's the deal. I am sure that the museum is very entertaining to some people. However, it was just not my 'cup of tea'. I just didn't feel that the museum was very engaging. It tells the story of how London was founded and how it has fought and survived all these years. It started with exhibits about the landscape and animals and then flowed into the first neanderthal's arrival. It continues like this, moving through time until we come to the present.

There were only two exhibits I really enjoyed: the Great Fire and the Black Plague. Learning about how the fire and plague began, spread, and was finally subdued was made interesting by the movies and models you could interact with.

Like I said, the Museum of London was just not for me. However I do think everyone should go and see it at least once.
