Last Day in London

On the last day in London, we went to the London Gallery. I would provide pics, but pics are not allowed in the London Gallery.












The gallery is an extensive collection of art from the 1400s to today. Most notable from the museum, is the original Van Gogh's Sunflowers.

After that, we went to the British Library. The library also has an extensive collection of works. Most notable was 2 of the 4 original copies of the Magna Carta. It was interesting to see this in person and to see how much copy the exhibit had about it's influence on the American Constitution.

The library also had some other works like a Guttenberg bible, the original Canterbury Tales and some of the original writings of the Beatles (Hard Day's Night, Yesterday and Help! to be exact).
