Visiting the Great Court of the British Museum

Great Court of the British Museum

Photographer:  unknown


There's an Egyptian theme on the walls but the court is apparently the construction in the center.  However, when I look more carefully I discover where the court can dispatch you.  The flights of stairs lead to these galleries:

Beyond el Dorada
Power and Gold in Ancient Colombia

Shunga
Sex and Pleasure in Japanese Art


Zen Yogi:  that blue creation on the top makes an excellent sky

As light varies from day into night it must change in beautiful ways.  Maybe it's even possible to see stars through it at night.

Zen Yogi:  it's not likely anyone sees stars in a city, particularly a big one like London

Well then, they need some AI robotics on the job to paint the stars in some timelessly clever way.

Zen Yogi:  why an AI robo when all you need is a star database and a ridiculous number of lasers to do all the star painting you need

That's not enough if we want to see how it changes as we fly through space as if we are flying aboard an outbound starship ... and London is the starship.

Zen Yogi:  why do that, Silas?

Only for the best of reasons, Yogi ... because we can.
