Another field trip, another museum! This time we managed to make it to a whole new city! Portsmouth is home to Fanny (or Frankie) Price and the Royal Navy. The city is almost entirely surrounded by water which understandably makes it an excellent location to house the navy. Be aware that there will… Read More Portsmouth, ho!
This post is going to cram three museums into one post. I do apologise but that’s how it’s going to be. This is my blog and I am still sick. Also I actually got drenched by a car making a turn today. I really had thought that only occurs in movies. My trowsers disagree. … Read More John Knox, Tollbooths & Huntly House
Day 2! I knew that I had to visit Edinburgh Castle as it’s only the defining landmark of the whole city. You know, so it’s kinda a big deal. Day 2 was a bit of a whirlwind for me because I set a new personal record: I SAW 5 MUSEUMS IN ONE DAY!!!! And I… Read More Old town & Storming the Castle
Now does this title make sense? I will fill you in after I illuminate all y’all with my brilliance: On day 1 I stayed in the area of Edinburgh called New Town.

ALERT ALERT CLASS WAS IN A MUSEUM The Grant museum is one of the many at UCL. We were able to actually have class before they opened. The museum manager gave a talk about the history of the collections, museum and zoology. The entrance is pretty snazzy with specimens painted outside. It really catches… Read More Grant Museum of Zoology
Class trip numero tres! For this lovely spot we got to take a bus trip as it is located in the town of Devizes in the county of Wiltshire. I thoroughly confused Pater when I told him where I went. Devizes is not a weird spelling of devices no matter what your brain is… Read More Wiltshire Museum Devizes
School Field Trip number two! We got to tour around with a Museum Architecture expert! It was pretty darn amazing. The museum is massive (as expected). We entered just as they opened and it felt like walking into Notre Dame or something. I was expecting some angels or a choir to start singing. … Read More Natural Histories
