Oooh! [In reply to] Can't Post

If it's even half as good as this was last year it'll be well worth seeing: https://www.britishmuseum.org/...ns/2014/vikings.aspx.

Mind you if it's even half as over-crowded it'll be hard work as well.

If you visit, the Field Museum [In reply to] Can't Post

also has a Maori meeting house that was brought from New Zealand in the 1930s. It's beautiful.

thanks [In reply to] Can't Post

I'm hoping to get up there this summer. It's been quite a few years since I've been to the Field Museum, and I don't remember the Maori meeting house at all, so I'll be looking forward to it! Smile
