Today I visited one of the finest museums in the world--the British Museum. Since I was there in 1979 they moved the British Library and Magna Carta to another location. They created Europe's largest covered courtyard at the center of the museum. The museum still houses the Rosetta Stone and many other artifacts, some of which are thousands of years old, from the early civilizations of Egypt, Rome, Greece, Iran and many others. To see these objects from the old world is why I travel to Europe.
