We are in London for a few days; every time we come I try to do those things we don’t get to do back in Sardinia. Today we left the house just after rush hour and made our way to the British Museum to see the mummies. I tend to tackle big museums in phases; too much information all at once is confusing and counterproductive. Five year olds are still too young for detailed explanations, but they are curious and welcome basic notions.  So Luca this morning had the opportunity to ask his favourite question – why? – and had my full attention with informative answers. The Egyptian section at The British was a success, he was particularly inquisitive about the drawings and was relieved to see the mummies where actually behind glass and not the scary creatures he had imagined.
