Interesting collections
The Eden Project, Cornwall, UK
The Eden Project has an amazing collection of plants. These plants are from different parts of the world. There is a collection of food plants, and the Eden Project also has a collection of other useful plants, like bamboo. If you visit, you can also see their collection of exotic plants.
The plant in the picture on the left is from the rainforests of Indonesia. The plant can grow up to 3 metres tall and about 1 metre across. When it flowers, it produces a strong smell to attract insects. It’s a very special plant!
The plant in the picture on the right is from Borneo and Sumatra. It has special cups. When insects fall in the cups, the plant eats the insect. It is a meat-eating plant.
The British Museum, London, UK
The British Museum has a collection of things from different parts of the world: China, Greece, Egypt, Mexico, Italy, etc.
The Rosetta Stone is a must-see object in the museum. It’s a big, flat stone with ancient writing on it. It says the same things written in two languages—Egyptian and Greek. This stone helps us understand Egyptian hieroglyphics and learn about ancient cultures. It’s like a treasure that unlocked a secret code!
You can see animals at the British Museum too. For example, there are mummies of real cats. They are part of the mummy collection in the ancient Egypt room. Some of them are from the 1st century BCE.
