Sadly, I did not get any pictures of items based on the topic at hand, but I managed to still gain a lot of insight from what I viewed. The game pieces we viewed were beautiful, and in amazing condition considering their age, and the boards we viewed were filled with detail, amazingly carved and cut. It's viewing things like that that make me truly appreciate what those of previous eras have done for us in terms of technology. While I did find interest in the board games and pieces, the entire trip to the British Museum was highly enjoyable, with many interesting exhibits on display, such as the Japanese display they had, showing their advancement over hundreds of years.
Wandering from exhibit to exhibit, attempting to take in everything possible from every age and culture, it did get a little bit overwhelming, which is why I do regret not getting more pictures whilst there, as a decent portion has slipped from memory at the moment. I definitely plan on going again at some point in the near future.

While it may be a shame that you didn't get any pictures (or more pictures) of any of the exhibits, you might have created a more interesting blog entry by posting some notes or comments on some of the specific games-related material that you saw.
