Firstly, I need to apologise. I've been busy and lazy and this blog has been largely neglected in favour of big books about early medieval archaeology. However, do not fear! My museum escapades have continued. In 2014 I visited several old favourites (the Viking exhibition at the BM was a particular highlight, and I'm currently spending three hours a week in the coin room t the ashmolean which is pretty nice), but I also visited fifteen new museums (I think) which I'm sure I'll get around to blogging about sometime. Anyway, these museums were, by continent (ha):
Europe
The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh
The Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul
Chora church museum, Istanbul
Istanbul archaeology museum
Bonnefanten museum, Maastricht
The treasury of Aachen cathedral
Basilica treasury of St Servatius, Maastricht
Grand Curtius Museum, Liege
Asia

Peranakan Museum, Singapore

Happy 2015!
