Group 4 - Churchhill Museum and British Museum

Today we visited the Churchill Museum! We visited the palces where World War Two's preparation occurred and saw the replications of the Churchill Kitchen and many different rooms used by important people. We learnt about Churchill's early life and his developing career as a politician. The Museum contains many artefacts and audiovisual displays. There was also an interactive and animated screens in the Museum. It contains images, documents, letters and other films.

Afterwards, we headed to the British Museum. There were over 6 million exhibitions in the Museum! We went to look around at the Ancient Greek section. High rock statues and many different types of ornaments werre displayed. Through all these displays, we got to learn more about the Greek history. We can know that the British Empire has a very diverse history as the Museum exhibits a whole range of displays from countries all over the world such as Egypt, China and Japan. The origin of some artefacts were bought from Greece. This shows that the British were enthusiastic about preserving history and are willing to let visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights into how Ancient Greek influenced. This also shows that the British Empire had goot transport network and communications and diplomatic relations at that time to have gathered so many artefacts.
