[조이누리 기자단] ⑥ The British Museum (영국 박물관) - 예유나

Hello, my name is Yuna, and this is my sixth article about museums. I’d like to introduce The British Museum in England. The British Museum has outstanding collection and shows the story of human culture from the beginning to the modern society.

The British Museum was built in 1753 and is exhibiting six million artifacts, placing from small archaeological pieces to huge objects from past and nowadays cultures.

The British Museum is a wide place, over seventy galleries and a huge range of extraordinary objects. The rooms are divided by geography, history and theme. If you don’t have much time you can use Map with TOP 10 objects during 1 hour. This map will help you plan your visit, find your way to the galleries and objects you would see, and locate the services and facilities. Moreover, this will make you see the variety of the collection. 

Family events are usually held at weekends and school holidays. For more specific details, visit at britishmuseum.org 

The museum admission is free, so you can visit here anytime.

My favorite, the sculpture of Ramses II

From my experience, I can retell how much the artifacts were telling its civilization, like the sculpture of Ramses II made me think about the Egypt civilization. Other than that, interesting features caught my attention each time I stopped to a halt to see the objects. Now this is what I call one of the world’s famous museum! 

안녕하세요?  부산 해운대구 센텀중학교 1학년에 재학 중인 예유나입니다. 어릴 때부터 영어를 좋아했고, 특히 2011-2012년 아빠가 2년간 미국 캘리포니아 UC Irvine에 교환교수로 계실 때 함께 얼바인에 거주하면서 초등 4~6학년 시절을 보냈습니다. 미국에 있는 동안 정말 많은 여행을 다녔고 특히 60여개의 박물관을 방문했답니다. 더불어 학교 수업도 열심히 해서 Advanced class에서 공부했구요, SCCC (Southern California Children’s Chorus)의 단원으로서도 활약했답니다. 현재는 센텀중학교를 대표하여 부산 영어도서관의 Reading Star (영어독서 선도위원)으로 활약하고 있습니다. 앞으로의 꿈은 외교관 또는 통역사이기에 특히 조인어스월드에서 소중한 봉사활동을 할 수 있게 되서 정말 감사합니다~ 조이누리 기자단 예유나님에게 글남기기: 바로가기
