I love it when museums gear towards children because it makes certain subjects much easier for kids to understand and way more fun to learn about.

When my friend and I went for our tickets the lady at the counter gave us a bit strange and said the exhibit was for children. We just laughed and went anyway. It was one of the coolest things I went through. I took pictures throughout the exhibit and I've used it in some of my lessons for teaching, so I'm glad I did it. I wish I was in England now so I could see the spy one in person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957052.post-22809623126964426252013-11-12T12:22:48.701+00:002013-11-12T12:22:48.701+00:00we love the horrible histories in our house!
