The British Museum

March 2009

No crowds yet.

I had to get up at the crack of dawn to get this shot of the museum entrance. The front doors of the museum open about an hour before the galleries ... that means that the crowds start to gather a little after seven in the morning. There are school tours, vacation tours and gaggles of individuals waiting for the doors to open. After the initial rush through the doors, the massive building absorbs the crowd like a large sponge in a small puddle of water.
