aolson visited on 20th Mar 2019 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 My second favorite museum in London. I notice something new every time. This time it was the sketch for the 1814 Panorama, and a new appreciation for the Mithras sculptures.

The prehistoric collection begins with a display of animal bones and then goes on to show the flint axes of the first people. Many human skulls are displayed including one showing numerous sword cuts and a partly healed grazing cut that removed a slice of bone. A penetrating pointed object killed the man. Many of the skulls were recovered from the Thames at Battersea along with Bronze and Iron Age swords and shields. So many skulls have been recovered with deliberately broken weapons that it suggests that the Thames at Battersea was a ritual place of sacrifice.
Unfortunately, the London Museum does not permit photography.
