"The only reason there are pyramids in Egypt is because they are too heavy to transport to the British Museum." - This is just one of many jokes about British museums. However, there's a grain of truth in every joke. Local museums really do contain an incredible number of artifacts from all over the world.

Recently, we had the opportunity to visit the Science Museum in London. It's a huge, four-story building with a basement. The museum covers virtually every known field of science, from engineering to medicine. The photo shows only a small part of everything that's there. We spent at least three hours exploring it, and I'm sure we didn't see all the exhibits.

An interesting fact is that most museums in the UK are free to enter. If you wish, you can voluntarily donate to support the museum's upkeep and development. Now I understand where all those huge taxes I pay go 😂
