RESEARCH AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM LIBRARY A MUST



There is so much to be done and experienced in London, however, for a researcher in contemporary history, a number of hiatuses are bridged into the past with all the information at the British Museum. I nearly spent four days at the museum and still could not get enough of it. Ancient history meets with modern technology to guide one through the thousends of interesting exhibitions which adds up to a phenomenal experience...With no entrance fee, this is an example per excellence for Open Education Resources (OER). Community educational projects in South Africa also take
children to museums while I also tried my level best to get my own children (and now grand children) interested in the huge treasures of knowledge at museums.
