Briton Ben Melham has set a new world record by visiting 42 museums in London in less than 12 hours. His journey began at 9:03 a.m. at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum and ended at 19:58 p.m. at the Royal Academy of Arts.
About this reported the CNN.
During this time, he visited over 40 museums, including iconic sites such as the Natural History Museum, the Tower of London and the British Museum. He ended his tour at the small Sir John Soane Museum. One of his first stops was the collection of the Royal Armouries in the Tower of London.
The idea for the record came to Melham after reading the Guinness Book of World Records with his children. They inspired him to make the idea a reality. He believes that each museum reveals unique stories about the past and allows you to feel a connection to different eras.
Now the traveler plans to break another record – for the number of museums visited in a year. At the moment, his collection of impressions already includes 85 museums, and he is not going to stop.
