Before we went to the States, I suggested a few Sundays ago that we visit The British Museum. H was up for it because he was interested in their Egyptian artifacts. I got A interested in it by suggesting she take a digital camera and record some movies. It was a beautiful day and the museum was busy but not out of control packed. Not long into our tour, A looked like she had given up the will to live, and there was no light in H’s eyes. As we were leaving I said to H that they were a tough crowd since they didn’t seem wowed at all by the museum. He explained that while the building was impressive, he didn’t think the collection was all that. I do think if you grow up around Chicago and your first experience in museums are Chicago museums, the bar is set pretty high.

Anyone who's not impressed with the British Museum's collection must have been sleeping while there.
