The other weekend Boyfriend-A, his housemates and I visited Manchester Museum. Manchester Museum is on Oxford Road, in the heart of Manchester City Centre and has free entry. It has lots of history to see including (click on any picture for full size image):
My two favourite sections were the Egyptian section and Geology section. In the Egyptian section I was fascinated by the Soul Homes (photo below) and creepy looking mummy (also photographed below):
In ancient Egypt soul homes were for people who couldn’t afford a tomb to be built. Somewhere for their soul to live during the afterlife. Boyfriend-A couldn’t believe how bad my geography was, after I thought Egypt was in Europe. Apparently it’s in Africa.
We moved on to Geology section, with this rather nice quartz crystal cluster that I wanted to take home:
We finished with the main attraction a complete T-Rex Skeleton:
There’s lots of history to see at Manchester Museum, but more interactivity e.g. videos/staffed tours would have added to the experience.
Even so we had a great time. If you’ve never been, go and check it out. Oh and it has a good gift shop that is reasonably priced to. Blog soon, Antony |
A great introductory article on candle magic :)
