One of my stops this weekend was to the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
Located in the heart of UCL, this tiny space is dedicated to the best of Egyptian and Sudanese relics. It is FREE ENTRY and it is absolutely incredible. It doesn't look like any museum I have seen before. It is more like a library, with tables and chairs for the students who are looking for a quiet spot to study and it is full of friendly faces.
The collection includes jewellery, tiles, everyday items and art.
The reason why I found this museum interesting is because it is nice to see such a well preserved little treasure. Nowadays, we are condemned to go to hectic places in Central London just to see a piece of history, and pay a huge fee for seeing an exhibition that might not be that great. This museum is free, small, and fun!
Plan a day out, go to the Petrie museum, and then go for a nice lunch out!
