British Museum Trip

These statues from the Parthenon were originally painted in beautiful colours, however harsh weather and natural erosion has removed much of their original life.

Right as the half-term holidays ended and the new term began, Years 11, 12 and 13 visited the British Museum to enhance our knowledge of ancient history. As a Year 11 ancient history student, our year group visited the Assyrian collection, the 'Mausoleum of Halikarnassos' and the British Museum’s magnum opus, remnants of the Parthenon’s friezes, just to name a few

Our day was very exciting, as we visited so many exhibits in such a small amount of time. We also saw the original Cyrus cylinder and replicas of lumasi sculptures, which are giant winged bulls with human heads

Milla, Y11
