Treasures of the World's Cultures: The British Museum after 250 Years

Today is a wonderful day. I go to National Place Museum to watch a special exhibition about 「The British Museum After 250 Years」.First time I wanted to go is in February. But the visitor was too much that I gave up the idea.
There are many treasures in the exhibition.
The British Museum after 250 Years is intended to offer the audiences in Taiwan a rare opportunity to appreciate cultural treasures from around the world without embarking on journeys abroad.
I interest in Ancient Egyptian Culture. I often watch programs about Ancient Egyptian Culture at home. Maybe in some people’s view, mummy is a disgusting and unlucky thing. Like the unlucky mummy, people believe he has curse because the coffin has no name. A rumor says: the unlucky mummy is in Tatinic, and that is the why Tatinic sunk. In this exhibition, I know the unlucky mummy was not in Tatinic. Is he unlucky? I don’t know.
In other sections, Roman Empire have many handsome effigy. African Cultures have many cut statue.
The exhibition is until to May. I want to visit again.
