Our Neighborhood Museum

The Great Court of the British Museum
Our neighborhood is almost embarrassingly filled with museums - there's actually a street labeled the Mile of Museums.  The grand foundation is the British Museum, home to the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles taken from the Parthenon, countless souvenirs from cultures across the globe.  Entirely too much sensory overload to absorb in any single visit, we have the luxury, since it's free, to wander through when we like.  It's only a short walk away (I can actually go through as a shortcut between work and other destinations), so we can make it a weekly visit - ancient Egypt last week, and next week?
