London Museum of Archaelogy

3 months after we arrived in London, we decided to do something constructive (not that we were doing unconstructive stuffs all the while, just that we wanted to do something different) by visiting the museums in London. Our first stop is London Museum of Archaelogy, a museum built on an actual archaelogical site with budding archaelogists performing manual digging to recover artifacts. The place was a good 45 minutes bus ride from the campus, tucked quietly in a nondescript neighborhood at the fringe of the city.


The entrance of the London Museum of Archaelogy. We were informed by the staff that students from Western can visit the museum for free for that entire month (Jean, Nelly and Emma had to pay a $2 entrance free each when they visited the museum earlier during September). Whoever said that early bird gets the worm must be sadly mistaken.






Exhibits at the interior of the museum. Displayed items are mostly archaelogical findings or a brief introduction of the history of Canada since the Ice Age, *yawn*, pretty boring stuff no doubt.





Artworks by Native American Indians of the first nations.





The compound of the museum, an actual archaelogical site where ongoing excavations are still carried out.



A life size Native American Indian living quarters built on the excavation site. The walls of the quarter was made of tree barks.






The woods surrounding the museum reminded me of 'Blair Witch Project', we took a couple of pictures there and ended the visit to the museum by heading back to the campus for lunch. Although visibly bored by the visit, we still bought some souvenirs from the museum (obviously over priced made in China commodities).
