We
went
to
the
British
Museums
travelling
exhibition
on
Ancient
Iraq;New
Discoveries.
The
archaeology
of
Iraq
was
beautifully
and
fascinatingly
displayed.
The
artefacts
were
interesting
and
absolutely
stunning.
The
exhibition
was
laid
out
in
a
figure
eight
rather
than
the
usual
clockwise
but
the
incredibly
friendly
and
knowledgable
museum
assistants
were
able
to
direct
us
to
get
the
most
information
and
see
the
exhibition
in
its
best
suggested
route.
We
found
a
further
photographic
exhibition
for
local
Nottinghamshire
architecture,
which
was
nice
to
see,
as
well.
it
did
seem
a
little
weirdly
spaced
near
the
Iraq
exhibition.
Although,
we
later
learned
that
it
had
opened
early
and
was
due
to
officially
open
after
the
Iraq
archaeology
exhibition
was
closed.
So
we
got
to
see
two
exhibitions
at
the
same
time!
Winning!
There
was
a
little
cafe
to
grab
some
light
refreshments
after
taking
your
time
having
a
good
look
through
both
the
main
hall
and
the
additional
exhibition
space.
And
there
was
a
small
shop
with
locally
handcrafted
gift
options
and
some
great
books
about
the
local
area
and
the
exhibition.
The
only
confusing
part
(as
someone
who
had
never
been
before)
was
that
a
further
exhibition
space
was
in
the
rotunda
which
was
only
accessible
through
the
gift
shop
(if
you
started
at
the
main
entrance)
and
passed
a
lot
of
offices.
Thankfully
I
had
a
local
with
me
and
they
guided
me
through
the
experience.
If
you
ask
the
staff
at
the
shop
they
will
be
able
to
direct
you
through
the
building
to
see
more
and
local
archaeological
and
historical
artefacts.
All
in
all
it
was
an
enjoyable
and
well
worth
a
visit.
