Review of The British Museum

Now I know why the Acropolis is permanently covered in scaffolding... 
This is an amazing museum and when I've been here I always say I'll only be a couple of hours but end up spending the whole day - bargain as entry is free. The quality of dispays and information attached to them is brilliant.
The Ancient Greek and Egyptian displays are truly amazing - however now I know why the Acropolis is permanently covered in scaffolding - because most of it (sadly) is in the British museum and not back in Greece where it should be. I'm sure many countries wish that the amazing ancient artifacts on display here were returned to them, and although it does upset me that these cannot be displayed in their country of origin I am also grateful that they are on display here so that I have the chance to see them.
I know a lot of reviews here have said that there weren't any mummys when they went, but the last time I went they had loads of mummys and sarcophagi - a whole room of them in fact so I was not disappointed.
The gift shop is nice but a bit expensive. They have quite a few educational products rather than just the normal tourist products branded with the museum's name which is nice to see.
