Once we made fun of british museum by saying that there was
nothing british in british museum.
We saw items from all over the world, but barely from the Great Britain. However, after moving to the that area, having chances to visit the museum, to have a walk there, to sketch the statues, to have an afternoon tea in the Great Court or even to have a nap in the reading room,
I realized that the way they exhibit the collection, the way they present historical scenes, the way they ask us to see things, the was they arrange the space......That is British.
I can image a picture where the museum people proudly said,"Innovation with tradition; Living with history, of course , of the world".
