London Exploring Pt 5: The British Museum

Hello, fellow explorers! It's Kadii here, excited to take you on our amazing journey through the British Museum. This adventure was all about discovering secrets from the past and seeing how history can spark our entrepreneurial dreams.

The Great Court glass roof reminded us of the geodesic design we have been doing at school!

As we walked into the British Museum, it felt like stepping into a giant treasure chest filled with stories from long ago. The bright, glass-roofed Great Court made everything feel welcoming, and we knew we were in for an exciting day.

Our first stop was the Egyptian gallery. The towering statues and mummies wrapped in linen were incredible to see in person. Maven and I had just learned about Egyptians at school, and seeing the real artefacts made our lessons come alive! It was like stepping right into our history books.

Fun Fact: Did you know that ancient Egyptians used honey to help preserve their mummies? They believed it would help them journey safely to the afterlife!

Next, we saw the famous Rosetta Stone. This ancient artefact is like a giant puzzle piece that helped people understand Egyptian writing. Maven and I were amazed at how this stone unlocked the secrets of a whole language. It reminded us that solving big problems takes time and patience, just like when we work on our projects.

We then ventured into the gallery of the Parthenon Sculptures. These detailed marble carvings transported us to ancient Greece. The way they mixed art and stories gave us loads of ideas for our own creative projects!

The British Museum has treasures from all over the world! We explored exhibits from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and more. This global perspective reminded us how important it is to learn from different cultures and how these lessons can inspire our own entrepreneurial adventures.

There were REAL totem poles here! I designed one with my friends that won at an ISA Art competition!

As we wandered through the museum, we realised how much we can learn from history. The stories and artefacts inspired us to think big and be creative. They showed us that knowledge and imagination can help us make great things happen.

Before leaving, we took one last look at the beautiful building. The Great Court, with its stunning glass roof, is a mix of old and new, just like how we can combine old ideas with new ones to create something special.

By the end of the day, our heads were buzzing with new ideas. Visiting the British Museum opened our eyes to the wonders of history and filled us with inspiration. We ended our adventure with a yummy treat, feeling thankful for all the cool things we learned.

The day got even more exciting when we were interviewed by ITV News! Sharing our museum adventure and what we learned was thrilling. It was awesome to tell more people about how history can inspire young entrepreneurs like us.

As we headed home, we talked about all the projects we want to try and how we can make a difference. The museum visit sparked our creativity and made us eager to explore even more.

We learned that being an entrepreneur is like being on a big adventure—full of discoveries and endless possibilities. The British Museum taught us that with curiosity and determination, we can achieve amazing things.
