It's common to see photos of beautiful exhibits in museums online, but there aren't many opportunities for us to actually take our babies to museums around the world (the ideal is plump, the reality is skinny).
However, I found a set of books that allowed me and my baby to "travel" the British Museum at home and on paper, do you believe it?
This set of books is "Visit the British Museum" by Xinxiyue, which is also the first time in the world that the British Museum has authorized the publication of a book for children. The complete set of books consists of 8 volumes, namely "World Pavilion", "Color Hall", "Animal Hall", "Nature Hall", "Art Museum", "Handicraft Hall", "Life Hall" and "ABC Hall".
The treasures of the world are at hand
Why is it a museum on paper?
Because "Visit the British Museum" selects 500 top cultural relics from the 8 million collections of the British Museum, it can be said that it condenses the essence of the British Museum's collection. From the mummy of the ancient Egyptian high priest Honeyjetieff, to the Lewis chess pieces and ancient Roman gold coins, reading the entire set of books is like doubling the speed through the entire British Museum.
Each artifact has a large ultra-clear picture showing details, and children can enjoy it up close as if they were entering the museum in person, and even clearer and more intuitive - the high-definition texture map taken by the Royal Photographer of the British Museum is much better than looking through thick glass.
These art treasures from all over the world allow us to have a preliminary understanding of the different civilizations, customs and histories of different countries and regions, and open it up as if we have spread a global cultural map at home.
Amazing audio guide
Unlike regular picture books, Visiting the British Museum provides a professional guided audio guide for each artifact, which lasts 600 minutes – which I find most appealing to me about this set of books.
We usually go to the museum and rent a guide, without it, walking around and watching the flowers, in fact, we can't see anything. With the guide, it is really convenient and labor-saving to take children to visit various exhibition halls.
The audio guide of this set of books is amazing, more detailed than the explanation of the museum. Turn on the chicken ball reading pen, and after connecting to the Internet, you can automatically download the audio package, and then you can read it happily.
Focus: Remember to read the bullet points three times! The first time Chinese the name, the second time the English name, and the third time is the explanation of the collection. At first I didn't know this "trick", I only clicked on each collection, and then I heard only its name and nothing else. I was so disappointed that it ended like that? Later, the baby inadvertently clicked a few more, and the good explanation immediately came out, hahaha, this is what I want!
Children can read, click and listen to audio commentary by themselves, and learn more about the treasures of each country and different cultures one by one. The audio commentary is easy to understand, and children can understand it without being accompanied by an adult, and they can easily learn a wealth of knowledge.
Breaking the concept of "exhibition", the collection has "childishness"
"Visit the British Museum" reclassifies 500 cultural relics into 8 themed museums, breaking the concept of "exhibition" and "rubbing" themes into daily life, such as identifying objects by color. The unusual design makes it easy to get started with artifacts that were originally too unfamiliar to children.
At the same time, this design seems to play tickets, but in fact it reduces cognitive difficulty and improves children's interest in reading. It takes a lot of thought behind it, and the collection has a "childishness", so that young children can also appreciate the collection with high cultural content and representing the high civilization of human beings, which not only enhances the child's sense of novelty, but also broadens the child's horizon.
So, take your children on a tour of the British Museum with the picture book "Visit the British Museum" and see the world's treasures. I believe that after reading it, children will have a little more understanding and knowledge of history, humanities and art around the world.
