Our school trip to London

Tate Modern
Tate Modern is an art gallery known as Britain’s national gallery of international modern art. It holds an art collection dated from 1900 to present day, and is Britain’s most visited art gallery. It’s purpouse is to be an ever-expanding gallery of modern and contemporary art. I think it will be interesting to see contemporary art over a 100 years old! What did modern look like back then?
British Museum
British Museum, est. 1753, is a well known museum located in London. It is dedicated mainly to human history and culture, and is very large. It’s permanent exhibitions contains over 8 million pieces and works documenting human history from the very beginning. I have visited the museum before, but I think history is very interested and am excited to go here again.
London Walks
The London Walks are guided tours that take tourists around London, looking at interesting and important things. We are two different walks with different themes. I am not sure what to expect, but it will probably be interesting.
Imperial War Museum, Churchill War Rooms
The Churchill War Rooms are a part of the Imperial Was Museums, documenting the second world war from Winston Chruchill’s perspective (I think). The website says that we can see the original Cabinet War Rooms (the wartime bunker that sheltered Churchill and his government during the Blitz) and other historic underground rooms, as well as discover the stories of many people who worked underground during the war.
Warnes Bros. Studios – Harry Potter tour
This is the place where large parts of the Harry Potter films were made. When they finished the last film, they were left with sets and props, and made it into a tourist attraction. According to their website, “It’s full of in-depth information about the Harry Potter film series, including many behind-the-scenes secrets and fabulous photography.” I am a huge Harry Potter fan and have heard a lot of great things about “Harry Potter-land,” so I am very excited!
