I never really liked museums, because for me the old things are boring. Well, most of them. But since we live in London, we visited some of the biggest and famous places: like National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, The Science Museum, Tate, and yesterday we went to The London Film Museum. Non of them gave me a long lasting memory. Except the fact that there was nothing special what made me excited. The advertisements and marketing sais so promising things about them, and when you go there you got shocked from the many uninteresting stuff. This film museum has nothing special except of the entrance hall which is quite nice but after that only corridors and small rooms with old and boring shit. I was only curious about the Star Wars collection. What they having??? A Stormtrooper, Boba Fett and Han Solo in the carbonite. That's it! They have a copy of the white corridor in a corellian blockade runner with R2D2 and C3Po but if u want to make a photo u have to pay 7 pounds. Bullshit. I did not like it. Never going back there. We went after that straight to Forbidden Planet (one of my favorite shops). Much better then a museum. If anyone interested in science fiction, fantasy, horror, etc just go there. Great stuff, everything what u can wish for.
