Never been there Brian. To be honest I am not much for Museums, I prefer to go to places where things happened rather than a collection of artefacts. I get bored rather quickly. I’d choose a muddy field in Agincourt to the Louvre, Bosworth Field to the Armouries Museum in Leeds or Pompeii to the Naples Archaeological Museum.
Mostly I agree, but, for example the field of Agin ours tells you less than the museum in the town, and I know we have both visited. But the Capitoline Museum is on the Capitoline Hill overlooking the Forum…… so ….. in we went. Stunning, a collection of artefacts that would otherwise have been lost or unappreciated.
I like that Museum in Agincourt but I liked the muddy field just as much where I could imagine the battle. Too much Shakespeare perhaps!
In Grimsby we have a fine museum – the National Fishing Heritage Museum and I like the recreations there because I know that although I can visit the battle site of Agincourt I will never actually go out into the North Sea on a fishing trawler!
I like the lion, Andrew. Looks like you could almost stop and have a chat with him, something like “I’ve heard the gazelles are quite tasty today.” –Curt
And did you go in the Garibaldi museum, Andrew?

I have to say that mostly wherever you go in Italy the sculptures and statues are magnificent, along with the various appendages!

It must be something to do with Ancient Rome. No one does statues like the Italians!

Yes, the eye opener for me was spending time at the Capitoline Museum in Rome. Have you spent time there?

I have never been to Dunkirk or the Normandy Beaches, but the Nazi defences along the Opal Coast in Picardy always make me shiver!

He is quite a guy I agree but it could also be Garibaldi who has been called the Lion of Caprera!

Certainly seems a lot more personable than the lion symbol of Britain, Andrew. 🙂
