Kent Wishne This place has the most impressive collection of looted artefacts I have ever seen. It's great to see all the souveniers England collected during their conquest of the Earth.

After the poorly organised Day of the Dead the British Museum does it again for incompetence and arrogance. When I pointed out that the Day of the Dead Mask competition had 2nd November as a closing date but in the rules it said that children could submit entries until 6th November the reply was oh well an error that w...e will correct on 4th Nov. This is not fair to the children who have already entered and have told their friends and family that they an't vote after 2nd. At this stage the only honest thing to do is award everyone first prize and invest in proof reading next time.Read More

Fabrizio Battaglia mitico!
Henrietta Foster When does the Day of the Dead mask competition for children close - was it the 2nd November as it says on the terms and conditions? If so why can you enter masks up to 6th November? Concerned aunt.
