I recommend the naval dockyard museum in Portsmouth. You might pay a little bit more but they check your bags for knives on the way in and out. The new Mary Rose exhibition is mind-blowing. Much better than the old murky condensation thing they used to have. Now it's four levels of artefacts in airlicked chambers allowing you to see each level. Also worth taking the boat out to the submarine museum. You get to walk through a ww2 sub. Some poor lady got half way down the boat and started screaming to be let out. We didn't panic. This is the Navy.
So there was no ‘British museum stabbing’ despite it being reported as such. The media bear a heavy responsibility for turning people into such perpetually terrified fannies.
Yes except it's very hard to put any kind of intelligent commentary on what might have happened on a naval ship 400 years ago when all you have are the hull and a few personal objects.
They pieced together the skeleton of the ship's dog. A terrier. A perfectly preserved dulcian, a sort of early bassoon. The buggery act of 1533. Thomas Tallis. A mirror. A comb. Look at the clues. Join the dots.

Sounds like it didn't happen in the Museum, but on the street corner.

If he's been arrested, why haven't they just re-opened the museum? Plod loves to make things more dramatic than they need to be.

Great BBC reporting.
An American woman, who was nowhere near the incident and saw nothing, was asked to move away by a policeman, which happened near a starbucks.

The near the British museum stabbing where an American woman was asked to move by police near a Starbucks sounds awful.

There are a lot of things about modern life that are upsetting. Not sure that "bag checks at tourist sites" makes the top 5000.

Bag checks are a massive ball ache in fairness.

V poor optics that we allow a stabbing across the road from such a major tourist spot in high summer.

Sietocho is the submarine tour still done by a guy who'd actually served on that kind of sub after the war?

I can sort of get the Mary Rose thing. Like Churchill said: "rum, sodomy and the lash" are the traditions of the Royal Navy.
