20 minutes in The British Museum

Usually The British Museum in London is too crowded to experience that is has "a mind of it's own", as Virginia Woolf wrote. To see the BM without views blocked by busloads full of tourists, chattering guides and school classes running around between the mummies and the ancient pottery, go there on a Friday evening, the only day of the week when the entire BM stays open after 5:30 pm. I shot this video on Friday 2 December 2011 around 8:15 pm, just before closing time.
