Official review: “Collecting Histories: Solomon Islands” (British Museum)

The Room 3 of British Museum is a mysterious piece of land. Imagine an air-conditioned space right next to the main entrance but with most people walking straight across having never noticed it.

Just pretend it more of a miniscule version of the hours of time to be spent in the remaining 90+ rooms. And especially this Captain Cook thing.

1. The showcase covers how the islands come under British colonization, then Christianization, their economic activities and how they’re today.

2. Storage storage storage – find yourself among artifacts that could have been left hanging out in the museum's dark cellars. And how these thematic displays can help them resurface.

Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
