We are very glad to have the chance to visit to the British Museum. No other museums can take place of the British Museum. It is a famous tourist attraction for tourist all over the world. It consists of many showrooms, one of what is the showroom of China. It was divided into several parts to display different objects from China. When you look around the showroom, it may seem strangely to you that Britain should have taken so much valuable things from China.

If you don't have enough time or don't want to leave out something, I suggest that you should make a list of the things you want to see. While visited the museum, you should keep your eyes open.

Last summer I had chance to visit Paris. That attracted me most was the Eiffel Tower, which has become a symbol of France. I was deep impressed by its height. I have never seen such a tall building ago! It is made of iron and it is about 10,000 tons in weight. There are 1,665 step from the bottom to the top. Climb the tower made me very tired, and I was very excited. I took a lot of photos in Paris.

I have much memories and experiences to share with. I am so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trip in France forever!

   Salvador Dali (1904—1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.

The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). ＂From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,＂ explains the Pompidou Centre.

The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.
