My fiancé and I were in London this past June. We arrived after a turbulent flight on which neither of us slept, on what may have been the coldest and rainiest day of the summer. Unable to check into our hotel, we decided to ignore our exhaustion, brave the downpour and go check out the oddities on display at the British Museum. Today’s quiz features some of what we saw.

  1. When my (now) husband and I visited the British Museum, we declared it was mis-named. It should be called the British Plunderers Museum. There ain’t a legitimately British thing in there…

  2. It’s a good thing Elgin took the statues, the Turks had a tendency to grind them up into fertilizer.

    Too bad the Taliban wouldn’t let them move the Bhammiyan buddhas.

  3. If you want to get technical, More than 100 is also More than 250.

    But I’m not going to be a jerk and bring that up.

  4. I would love to see more articles on museums around the world. I think stories behind artifacts are fascinating. I’d love to hear more on where the best museums are located and what they have on display.

  5. Zach: 105 is more than 100, but it’s not more than 250!

    With multiple choice, you always go with the most correct answer.

    And I’m don’t want be a jerk either… unless it’s already too late.

  6. I love the British Museum! There’s a case that displays the Mildenhall Treasure (an actual British treasure for Claudia). I think it’s cool because it’s the very small village I live in. I also enjoy the Native American and Americas rooms. Such a great place even if all the artifacts were stolen (or saved, depending on who you ask).
