Tower of London

The Tour of London was a nice break from seeing so much art. I thought it would be bigger and there would be more things to see but it was still enjoyable. The armory room was extensive and cool. I took some interesting photos there. It was kind of an unusual experience because the physical spaces were very historical and old but the displays were quite contemporary and high tech. Some sections were like video games or interactive games. It's also interesting to see such old artifacts hanging in fancy glass cases that light up and turn different colors. It seemed as though they were commercializing history, trying to make it more interesting and appealing.
