Thoroughly enjoyed watching your tour of this museum ❤. Since Britain ruled the seas, world centuries ago, I’m not surprised they have so much. Lol 😂..leave it to Hannah to find the food. 💕👍
To think I was at the British Museum just two weeks before you did this vlog. It is very overwhelming in there and it was nice to see some of the things I missed that you covered. I did not see the paid exhibition so that was nice to watch. I also visited for the first time in all my journey's to London, the National Gallery, but did not stay too long. So, would be nice if you did a vlog there as you mentioned. Just want to say a week without seeing Hannah is an incomplete one. Thanks for your efforts in giving all of us the joy of seeing parts of London through your eyes !!
I visited the British museum on a school trip in 2015. It is one of my most prominent memories. I was absolutely baffled that you get to explore all of that for free (with exeptions). Still find it incredible that quite a few places in London are free. Here in Czechia you'd never heard of that, in reality most of the bigger museums are really expensive. A family trip to our national museum is a hefty price indeed. As a lover of art and wandering around, it would be my dream to just spend most of the day in the British museum. I'd be there every month. It's another reason why I love London so much. A lot of Londoners don't realize the awesome perks they have. Of course, every place has its ups and downs. My memory might be failing me here, but I feel like back then the Rosetta stone was just casually in the middle of some free access exhibition, but I could be wrong. I did love all of the Rosetta stone themed merch they had, I remember a rubber mini version of the stone in the gift shop in the main court area. If anyone is interested, there's some videos walking around the British museum, highly reccomend if you wanna take a look around yourself in more detail. Hannah, thank you for another lovely vlog, my week has turned into simply counting down the days until your new upload. I'd love more free things to do in London, even some more obscure, themed places. As long as you're narrating, I'll watch :) (this might be controversial, and I do not condone stealing from other countries, but I do think that there's no harm in people all around the world being able to admire a certain aspect of a different culture. The way it was done was not okay, but I'd love to be able to see a Hoa Hakananai up close, and other people appreciate the opportunity as well)
I love these type of vlogs right now because I’m finally coming to visit London for the first time from the US in April and find them very informative.
Hello , enjoy the walks on the South Bank of the Thames , as well as the Tate Modern museum , then walk across the “ Wobbly” bridge to Saint Paul’s cathedral, and go inside to see one of the best buildings in London ? ( I help out as a volunteer in Tate Modern and Tate Britain’s Art museums ) have a brilliant April visit !
Great! You did it! Well done! This was not a shabby start. Being 20 minutes out from Manhattan, NYC, we've got, bordering Central Park, back to back, the Museum of Natural History the counter of your British Museum. On the opposite side of Central Park, on Fifth Avenue (83? Street), is the Metropolitan Museum with its landscapes, portraits, sculptures, ceramics.
I absolutely loved this, Hannah …. more, please!! I was there with my class (Brit born) many decades ago but don’t remember anything so I was thrilled to have this opportunity. I’m simply fascinated by the Egyptian section and while I understand people being upset over tombs being removed from their original burial site, I’d be overwhelmed to actually stand beside one! Such a wonderful museum and your commentary is perfect; like being there with a friend; keep on being you! 🇨🇦
I love the idea of more museum vlogs, especially the V&A which I've never been able to visit! You mentioned at one point, and I remember being quite shocked when I visited the British Museum, just how physically close people can get to the artifacts. Lots of people touching stuff, and it made me so uncomfortable! Combined with the idea that many of these items should probably be returned to their country of origin... it's definitely a lot to think about when you go visit. Incredible to see in person, though. If anyone is interested in learning the story of the Parthenon sculptures, look up "Elgin marbles"---the debate over them has raged for over 200 years!!
I hope you got to visit V & A by now. Not to be missed. What an enchanting experience! Love the fact that most British museums are free. Just got lucky that we didn't have to shell out any money to see the rosetta stone at the British Museum.
You did a wonderful job with your blog sound was great and pictures were all tasteful I really enjoyed you dialog of the items gave enough information with interest. Thank you for sharing this blog.
I never realized that THE BRITISH MUSEUM could be such a charming place---until I saw HANNAH's Tour! Variety is the spice of life---so I "vote" for HANNAH to do more walkabouts of historic places!
Oh my G! Right on time H, we can always trust on you 💕🤗🥳👍 And your vloggs... I can't find words how much i appreciate those. They are Goals! You are the queen of showing us London and other places. Just freaking love it! ♥️ Have a nice weekend 🙋♀️ Many happy warm greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 ⭐️😊
Don’t be so hard on yourself Hannah, as always loved the vlog. Reminded me of when my 3 children were young and we took them to many London museums. My youngest child is now 43yrs, so many years ago and so much has naturally changed. Thank you Hannah, more please xx
Excellent video Hannah, I think you've managed to convey how huge and amazing the British Museum is! We're very fortunate that it's free to get in. In France you pay to go into art galleries, but churches are free. I've never understood why, in the UK our museums and art galleries are free but you pay about £25 to go into St Paul's cathedral and Westminster Abbey. It's definitely worth spending only a couple of hours in the British Museum at a time, otherwise you get overwhelm (as you found out) and coming back several times if you can. I haven't been there, I realised, since 2014 so I think it's about time I paid another visit. Also, you don't normally have to pay to see the Rosetta Stone, so I assume it was moved into a special Egyptian exhibition?
Thank you so much Hannah, really enjoyed this video! I am amazed you managed to show so much in 16 min. Would be wonderful to see more museums and galleries as it used to be my greatest pleasure when I was younger and much more mobile. Looking forward to your next one!
Well this was an interesting diversion from your usual, which we love. Anyplace you take us is fine with us. Going thru tough times here and your smiling face and places you visit are truly welcoming. Hope you do more museums in future. Stay safe.
Loved this! I grew up in Chicago with great museums and a fabulous zoo downtown and I still love them. Incredible that it’s free entry! I think something as huge as this needs to be done in sections to make less overwhelming. But you might not get as many views if you did that, even if I’d be very enthusiastic! I’ve missed a few weeks due to life, so caught up today and feel like I’ve had a good walk about with a friend! Love seeing your London! Thank you, Hannah!
Hannah, thank you for taking us to the British Museum, even though it’s controversial. I haven’t seen this beautiful museum in over 20 years! Once again, you have taken one for the team (your subscribers) like you did when you did the Buckingham Palace area tour on a rainy day. I really enjoyed seeing the amazing Rosetta Stone again! When I was there I bought jewelry pieces that were reproductions of jewelry from Tuscan and other cultures and I still have them and wear them! Of course we need to see food in all of your vlogs. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I would love to see the National Gallery or the Tate Gallery! Thanks so much ❤
Greetings Hannah & thx for another very interesting vlog that highlights a very impressive museum in London! I am amazed that the museum is actually a free admission.....granted you had to buy an additional ticket for the exhibit you took us through, but what a great way to experience all that history! Hannah you have a knack for knowing where to film, that your audience would enjoy.....well done! I look forward to next week's vlog, & as always, thx Hannah for all your effort & creativity! Have a nice weekend!!!
This was one of the places that I was hoping you would go to! My friend & I went in 2009. We’re Canadians and stayed at a hostel basically next door. The architecture is just incredible! We spent 5 hours in there 😵💫 haha. Didn’t even see everything! Very cool Hannah! Thanks for the vid 🥰
Hey Hannah, great to see another video from you, I loved it. Sometimes these are the things most people will not see... You are sharing some great things... Regards from Spain, Reni 🍷🍷
Wonderful vlog Hannah, not boring at all! Your audio and camera settings were great! You did a great job showing what you did, that's a huge museum, I do hope you go back to enjoy and see everything with having to worry about vlogging. I love seeing a variety of things in the UK, so Museums, shopping, walks, pubs...it's all good & very much appreciated! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend! Take care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖
Thanks for the little touristy trip through the museum! I hit it up every time I'm in London. It really is massive and you need wayyy more time than you think to properly make a decent dent in it. I'm so happy you wandered to the Clocks and Watches section, as it's my favorite of them all. The way humans have managed to parse out and monitor the passing of time has always fascinated me, and some of the clocks are simply gorgeous in and of themselves. As the Museum being controversial, I think that's fair for most part. If there is a legitimate claim for a culture or country to want a piece back, I feel that's just but only if they can prove a safe and secure home for the item(s) where anyone can visit - same as British Museum. Also, it feels like if we consider the ravages of theft and looting and lack of archiving back when much of these items were "discovered", I'm happier knowing the BM has them in a safe place we can all appreciate them, rather than they were left as is to be stripped for parts or tossed as rubbish and lost to time.
Only a few bloggers go to museums. Thank you for taking a chance. It was awesome. Loved the building. The artifacts were terrific. I agree, it's sad to see things that people, over the years have "acquired" but can't be undone, so it's good we can learn from them. If you would feel comfortable more museums would be great.
Wow Hannah I didn't expect this but I really enjoyed watching and I agree with you about leaving people to rest where they were buried. Thanks for sharing this, it was amazing to watch, wish I could go there because I love museums. Take care stay safe sending love from across the pond
YES!! Love this and hope it does become a series!! Also, on the topic at hand, I'd love to see the U.K. (and the U.S.) turn ownership back over to the Egyptian government but have a "permanent on-loan" arrangement. This would allow Egypt to receive some proceeds from any revenue generated by their display but not risk moving the items and putting them at risk to be lost, stolen, or broken! Just one American's opinion. P.S. - I LOVE the British Museum!!
Ciao Hannah, as always fantastic videos. This museum is always one of the most fascinating. I love Egyptian history and there is a lot of it there. I have to see it too. Thanks for the videos. 😍☺
I really loved this video so much, I am a bit of a history buff. With big museums like this you need to only visit a couple of sections in one day to fully see everything without being rushed. You should try doing that you will really enjoy it
Great Vlog Hannah. The British Museum is one of the world’s great museums. Most museums acquired lots of exhibits by somewhat dubious means …..but it’s free to visit and open to everyone so that’s a positive. Try the Natural History Museum sometime soon. V & A is also great.
I would love to see this. I did get to the Louvre in 2014 and the first thing I headed to was the archaeology section. Near where I live is the Oriental Institute in Chicago, which is full of archaeological finds, similar to what you see in London.
Hi Hannah, I'm viewing this video a year after it was initially posted, but I thought you did well, vlogging your first visit to the museum. I really appreciated the fact that you weren't under any illusions about most of those artifacts being pinched from their countries of origin. In these current times, honest conversations about the past are one of the best ways forward. Love your videos, keep up the great work! 🙂💖
You captured the enormity of the museum....I was tired just sitting on my couch lol Yes , please do more videos on galleries, museums and tourist attractions.....see you next week!
Hiya Hannah just watched your video. Yes they should be in the museum. Other why’s who knows where they would of ended up. Some nighthawks selling them to rich people. XO 🌹
Loved the video, Hannah. It's good you are taking us with you to many different places in London. I've not been to the British Museum for year's. You did a great job. Looking forward to your next video. The more venues you visit the better. Excellent video.
Museums and galleries in London are my favourite spots to visit when traveling in the UK, as they display so many great artefacts for free. Amongst them the National Gallery is my favourite one in the worldI'd love to see a National Gallery vlog though it's probably not a perfect place to film as it's always packed with tourists and art students. It has so many masterpieces that I've always spent hours when visiting there. Thank you for letting me relive some of my best memories
Thank you for the video Hannah and I'm looking forward for more Museum vlogs! As a Greek I don't know whether the sculptures were purchased or not , I wasn't there and don't claim to know more than I do, in any case I saw them for free in a beautiful building displayed with respect and care. Another idea for future vlogs would be private collections like the Wallace Collection house!
This is one of my favourite Vlogs that you have done. I was at the British Museum in June 2022 and enjoyed seeing the Egyptian and Greek collections. I totally missed the Chinese collection so you’ve given me a reason to return. In fairness I find The cafés and restaurants in the British museums have at least one or two gluten-free options which I always appreciate. thanks for this as it couldn’t have been easy.
Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it!! 🙂I had never ever seen this museum. I would love to see other museums and yes, go back again and do the sections you missed at this museum due to fatigue. Blessings to you.
If you set aside while youare there the expoliation inherent to the BM, you can enjoy what a marvel it is. Loved the blog and I would love more galleries and museums and cultural sites ones
saw the exhibition earlier n December... it was OK, but was very minimalist.. I still enjoyed it though! FYI there s a replica of the Rosetta Stone in the main museum.. Great vid as usual, Hannah!❤
Great job! You literally followed my footsteps when I was there last Spring. At that time, the Rosetta Stone was in a case just as you entered the building. I understand your feelings about should those objects be taken away and put on exhibit. It's a hard choice. But, because they are in that beautiful building, many things have been discovered by people studying them in a foreign land. The Rosetta Stone is a prime example. The building itself is so amazing. Just watched a documentary about how the white, circular center and ceiling were built. Amazing! This building and its contents are certainly something to see. Now, how about a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum? Thanks for bringing back memories of a great visit!
Great vlog... Love how HONEST about some piece you were... BLESS YOU.. I am 🇬🇷Greek and Greece has been begging for DECADES that our Panthenon Sculptures return to GREECE.. They were definitely NOT given.. Its sad that the British Government claim we can not HOUSE them properly.. But they can in the British Museum... We have an EXTRAORDINARY Acropolis Museum... and we have made FAKE wax Sculptures to where the REAL ONES BELONG... HOPEFULLY they shall return to THEIR ANCESTORS HOME COUNTRY ONE DAY 🇬🇷🙏
Awesome as always Hannah. I am in awe of how people make such incredible and detailed work of art thousand of years ago. I always wonder who did it and what they were like. I am a weirdo! I agree though, bit of a raiders of the lost ark moment ….. don’t look ……😂
Britishers were the one who stoled India and Africa years ago , and all those ancient sculptures, watches and coins are all stolen from all over the country specially India, the kohinoor is also stolen . Each of the thing present there are stolen.........
Hannah, you did a wonderful job vlogging the museum. We would enjoy seing more of these as, to be selfish, these vlogs help us make our list of places we want to visit when we get to London. Thank you for sharing. Keep making fab vlogs and keep smiling. 😊
Would love to see more of the London museums and galleries.
Hello Hannah! Yes please, more museums and galleries, that’ll be a treat to us all! 😊
By the way… the Moai was returned to Chile this past Monday… About time! Now, the frescoes back to Greece 🇬🇷…
Another great vlog
@@christianeduardo1 they won't be able to take care of it like the brits did.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your tour of this museum ❤. Since Britain ruled the seas, world centuries ago, I’m not surprised they have so much. Lol 😂..leave it to Hannah to find the food. 💕👍
Thank you so much, Hannah! Would love, love, love to see more videos on museums.

Thanks so much!
@@HannahRicketts your welcome and as I said before you are my favorite TH-camr ! You are wonderful and I enjoy all your vlogs and YOU !
Are the Elgin Marbles still there?
I visited the British museum on a school trip in 2015. It is one of my most prominent memories. I was absolutely baffled that you get to explore all of that for free (with exeptions). Still find it incredible that quite a few places in London are free. Here in Czechia you'd never heard of that, in reality most of the bigger museums are really expensive. A family trip to our national museum is a hefty price indeed. As a lover of art and wandering around, it would be my dream to just spend most of the day in the British museum. I'd be there every month. It's another reason why I love London so much. A lot of Londoners don't realize the awesome perks they have. Of course, every place has its ups and downs.
My memory might be failing me here, but I feel like back then the Rosetta stone was just casually in the middle of some free access exhibition, but I could be wrong. I did love all of the Rosetta stone themed merch they had, I remember a rubber mini version of the stone in the gift shop in the main court area.
If anyone is interested, there's some videos walking around the British museum, highly reccomend if you wanna take a look around yourself in more detail.
Hannah, thank you for another lovely vlog, my week has turned into simply counting down the days until your new upload. I'd love more free things to do in London, even some more obscure, themed places. As long as you're narrating, I'll watch :)
(this might be controversial, and I do not condone stealing from other countries, but I do think that there's no harm in people all around the world being able to admire a certain aspect of a different culture. The way it was done was not okay, but I'd love to be able to see a Hoa Hakananai up close, and other people appreciate the opportunity as well)
I love these type of vlogs right now because I’m finally coming to visit London for the first time from the US in April and find them very informative.
I went for the first time to London in October. You are going to love it there!
Hello , enjoy the walks on the South Bank of the Thames , as well as the Tate Modern museum , then walk across the “ Wobbly” bridge to Saint Paul’s cathedral, and go inside to see one of the best buildings in London ? ( I help out as a volunteer in Tate Modern and Tate Britain’s Art museums ) have a brilliant April visit !
Thanks
Thanks to you too!
Great! You did it! Well done! This was not a shabby start. Being 20 minutes out from Manhattan, NYC, we've got, bordering Central Park, back to back, the Museum of Natural History the counter of your British Museum. On the opposite side of Central Park, on Fifth Avenue (83? Street), is the Metropolitan Museum with its landscapes, portraits, sculptures, ceramics.

I’m simply fascinated by the Egyptian section and while I understand people being upset over tombs being removed from their original burial site, I’d be overwhelmed to actually stand beside one!
Such a wonderful museum and your commentary is perfect; like being there with a friend; keep on being you! 🇨🇦
Evening hanna love the British museum and ❤your channel
Looking forward to watching this.. better than the tv
I love the idea of more museum vlogs, especially the V&A which I've never been able to visit! You mentioned at one point, and I remember being quite shocked when I visited the British Museum, just how physically close people can get to the artifacts. Lots of people touching stuff, and it made me so uncomfortable! Combined with the idea that many of these items should probably be returned to their country of origin... it's definitely a lot to think about when you go visit. Incredible to see in person, though. If anyone is interested in learning the story of the Parthenon sculptures, look up "Elgin marbles"---the debate over them has raged for over 200 years!!

I love British
Please do a tour of the museums, you did a great job with the tour and editing. The place is massive so it can’t be easy to film.
You did a wonderful job with your blog sound was great and pictures were all tasteful I really enjoyed you dialog of the items gave enough information with interest. Thank you for sharing this blog.
Loved this video. Do more museums in between your shopping.❤
Пусть вернут награбленное из музея тем странам у кого вывезли эти артефакты
Amazing vlog hannah ❤ I'm the opposite of you I find the Egyptian mummy's and tombs fascinating 🤗what a great place so much to see💗
Love the museum tour as many of us may never see it. The ancient artistry is so amazing and I love it. Thank you from the gray skies of Michigan.
I never realized that THE BRITISH MUSEUM could be such a charming place---until I saw HANNAH's Tour!
Variety is the spice of life---so I "vote" for HANNAH to do more walkabouts of historic places!
Oh my G! Right on time H, we can always trust on you 💕🤗🥳👍
And your vloggs... I can't find words how much i appreciate those. They are Goals! You are the queen of showing us London and other places. Just freaking love it! ♥️

Great vlog, Hannah! I would love to see the National Gallery.
I always find those exhibitions fascinating! It was very interesting indeed. Makes the mind curious to learn more. Great vlog!
Thanks!
Thanks to you too!!
Bring on the museums!
Hi Hannah! Love this kind of vlog as well. I was there in 2019. Brought back so many memories as you went along! 🥰
Absolutely wonderful vlog! More of this kind, please! Absloutely profound reflections! Thank you so much Hannah!🤗
loved the museum vlog
Wow Great to See, Learned things, Watches and clocks cool Thank you - Cheers
Wow Hannah I didn't expect this but I really enjoyed watching and I agree with you about leaving people to rest where they were buried. Thanks for sharing this, it was amazing to watch, wish I could go there because I love museums. Take care stay safe sending love from across the pond
very nice!.....I always love your video ideas.....it would take me a week to see that place!
Fantastic light in British Museum📷📸
It's amazing how many free museums and galleries there are there. So good especially for tourists
YES!! Love this and hope it does become a series!! Also, on the topic at hand, I'd love to see the U.K. (and the U.S.) turn ownership back over to the Egyptian government but have a "permanent on-loan" arrangement. This would allow Egypt to receive some proceeds from any revenue generated by their display but not risk moving the items and putting them at risk to be lost, stolen, or broken!

Great and easy look at the British! Well done! V&A would be great as well :)
Fantastic!! Very interesting! ❤❤
I love the idea of free things to do. Your vlogs are always wonderful and make my week. Thank you for sharing your London with us.
Great little vlog, showing the highlights and how overwhelming it is! Really enjoying your content as a newbie to your channel.
Loved the tour of this museum! Wow, what a place! And free ! ❤❤
Ciao Hannah, as always fantastic videos. This museum is always one of the most fascinating. I love Egyptian history and there is a lot of it there. I have to see it too. Thanks for the videos. 😍☺
Thanks Hannah, I enjoyed it all. Very 😎
I really loved this video so much, I am a bit of a history buff. With big museums like this you need to only visit a couple of sections in one day to fully see everything without being rushed. You should try doing that you will really enjoy it
Love, love, love museums!! Thanks!!💕💕💕💕
Great Vlog Hannah. The British Museum is one of the world’s great museums.
Most museums acquired lots of exhibits by somewhat dubious means …..but it’s free to visit and open to everyone so that’s a positive.
Try the Natural History Museum sometime soon.
V & A is also great.
I would love to see this. I did get to the Louvre in 2014 and the first thing I headed to was the archaeology section. Near where I live is the Oriental Institute in Chicago, which is full of archaeological finds, similar to what you see in London.
Hi Hannah,
I'm viewing this video a year after it was initially posted, but I thought you did well, vlogging your first visit to the museum. I really appreciated the fact that you weren't under any illusions about most of those artifacts being pinched from their countries of origin. In these current times, honest conversations about the past are one of the best ways forward. Love your videos, keep up the great work! 🙂💖
You captured the enormity of the museum....I was tired just sitting on my couch lol Yes , please do more videos on galleries, museums and tourist attractions.....see you next week!
Video & sound were great. More museums, please! Thanks for taking us along!
The last time I went to a museum in London it was full of schoolchildren SCREAMING the place down! This was nice and calm in comparison 😊
Yes - I appreciate it's good for kids to see museums but the massive groups have ruined a few visits unfortunately
I absolutely loved this vlog. I think it's more interesting and more enthralling. I love the shopping ones but it's more compelling to watch.
Hiya Hannah just watched your video. Yes they should be in the museum. Other why’s who knows where they would of ended up. Some nighthawks selling them to rich people. XO 🌹
Thhat's an argument that hey should be in _a_ museum.
Loved the video, Hannah.
It's good you are taking us with you to many different places in London.
I've not been to the British Museum for year's. You did a great job. Looking forward to your next video.
The more venues you visit the better.
Excellent video.
Museums and galleries in London are my favourite spots to visit when traveling in the UK, as they display so many great artefacts for free. Amongst them the National Gallery is my favourite one in the worldI'd love to see a National Gallery vlog though it's probably not a perfect place to film as it's always packed with tourists and art students. It has so many masterpieces that I've always spent hours when visiting there. Thank you for letting me relive some of my best memories
Thank you for the video Hannah and I'm looking forward for more Museum vlogs! As a Greek I don't know whether the sculptures were purchased or not , I wasn't there and don't claim to know more than I do, in any case I saw them for free in a beautiful building displayed with respect and care. Another idea for future vlogs would be private collections like the Wallace Collection house!
Did well, particularly considering the local site lighting in different rooms.
Hannah thank you amazing job as always I’m with you on the whole acquisition dilemma. Have a wonderful week xxxxx
Have been to the British museum twice - it’s a beautiful building. The National gallery is my favorite 😍
Good job Hannah
This is one of my favourite Vlogs that you have done. I was at the British Museum in June 2022 and enjoyed seeing the Egyptian and Greek collections. I totally missed the Chinese collection so you’ve given me a reason to return. In fairness I find The cafés and restaurants in the British museums have at least one or two gluten-free options which I always appreciate. thanks for this as it couldn’t have been easy.
Love this museum, I have visited many times!❤️❤️
This was great!
Lots of fun!
I would love to see you go through the costumes exhibit at the V&A. How so many garments have been so beautifully preserved is fantastic.
Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it!! 🙂I had never ever seen this museum. I would love to see other museums and yes, go back again and do the sections you missed at this museum due to fatigue. Blessings to you.
If you set aside while youare there the expoliation inherent to the BM, you can enjoy what a marvel it is.
Loved the blog and I would love more galleries and museums and cultural sites ones
1st Jan is still within the 12 days of Christmas so the menu was appropriate. Loved yr vlog tho. Great job. Thanks Hannah. Keep em coming please!
"Holy crap, look at that!" This is my kind of museum vlog. Great work!
That was so interesting. I'll never get to the British Museum so thanks for showing bits of it to us.
saw the exhibition earlier n December... it was OK, but was very minimalist.. I still enjoyed it though! FYI there s a replica of the Rosetta Stone in the main museum.. Great vid as usual, Hannah!❤
ahh great video Hannah :) and hope to see more videos :) again for sure :)
Hi Hannah, oh I love to see museums. I didn't know that was there. Thanks for sharing.
Great job! You literally followed my footsteps when I was there last Spring. At that time, the Rosetta Stone was in a case just as you entered the building. I understand your feelings about should those objects be taken away and put on exhibit. It's a hard choice. But, because they are in that beautiful building, many things have been discovered by people studying them in a foreign land. The Rosetta Stone is a prime example. The building itself is so amazing. Just watched a documentary about how the white, circular center and ceiling were built. Amazing! This building and its contents are certainly something to see. Now, how about a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum? Thanks for bringing back memories of a great visit!
Great vlog... Love how HONEST about some piece you were... BLESS YOU.. I am 🇬🇷Greek and Greece has been begging for DECADES that our Panthenon Sculptures return to GREECE.. They were definitely NOT given.. Its sad that the British Government claim we can not HOUSE them properly.. But they can in the British Museum... We have an EXTRAORDINARY Acropolis Museum... and we have made FAKE wax Sculptures to where the REAL ONES BELONG... HOPEFULLY they shall return to THEIR ANCESTORS HOME COUNTRY ONE DAY 🇬🇷🙏
Συγχαρητήρια 👍👏❤
well said!
Thank you!
Awesome as always Hannah. I am in awe of how people make such incredible and detailed work of art thousand of years ago. I always wonder who did it and what they were like. I am a weirdo! I agree though, bit of a raiders of the lost ark moment ….. don’t look ……😂
Britishers were the one who stoled India and Africa years ago , and all those ancient sculptures, watches and coins are all stolen from all over the country specially India, the kohinoor is also stolen . Each of the thing present there are stolen.........
Loved it! We’re off to the uk in July so loving this for my research!
You did a great job Hannah. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Hannah, you did a wonderful job vlogging the museum. We would enjoy seing more of these as, to be selfish, these vlogs help us make our list of places we want to visit when we get to London. Thank you for sharing. Keep making fab vlogs and keep smiling. 😊
