London | National Maritime Museum
There are a vast number of oil paintings that dominate the seas, with themes including but not limited to shipwrecks, sea battles, Pacific Island landscapes, the signing ceremony of the Treaty of Nanking, kings and queens, and significant naval/colonial figures. π’ππ¨ There are also numerous maritime guides and positioning devices, including but not limited to globes, clocks, astrolabes, and nautical charts. ππ°οΈπ Of course, various ship models are a must. βπ₯οΈ Comparing this museum to the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, the differences and similarities between the two countriesβ colonial activities are vividly displayed. π¬π§π³π± They say that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. AP History has a conceptual knowledge that involves making lateral comparisons. Although itβs less frequently tested in DBQs and LEQs than causation, change, and continuity, to score high, you must be able to write about two differences and two similarities. You might not remember things from books, but a trip to the museum makes everything crystal clear and memorable! πποΈ Even if youβre busy with your studies and canβt come in person, no worries, I am your eyes! Iβve taken photos for you all!! #MustVisitMuseum #Museum #London #UKTravel #UKHistory #GradStudentLife #NationalMaritimeMuseum #APHistory #APWorldHistory
