My lecturer said we should blog some brief comments on our trip to the British Museum (for those people who actually ended up going) so I thought I might as well, although I haven't got too many comments.
We started our journey around the museum after Eddie gave us a guide to follow of a few good museum pieces relevant to the ancient games topic. This lead us around various interesting ancient games but the main one we had come to see was The Royal Game of Ur display. It felt good to be able to see the original in person. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of it myself. Besides The Royal Game of Ur, the other pieces we looked at were nice also and again, good to see this stuff in person to get a nice look at it. One of the interesting things we saw was The Royal Game of Ur board marked into one of the giant human headed winged bull gate sentinels.
All in all, I think the trip was worthwile!
