A VISIT TO THE TIN SOLDIERS MUSEUM IN VALENCIA.
Last Wednesday we went to Valencia to do a guided visit in English in a museum called the Iber museum.
When
we arrived to the museum a group of students from el Drac were waiting
for us, so first we met them and introduced ourselves in English.
Once
inside the museum we met Bob, he was the guide and first of all he
started talking about the history of the building. It was the house of a
rich family whose son had collected tin soldiers since he was very
young.This museum has the biggest collection of the world of tin
soldiers!!!
They were placed in a way that represented
historical scenes like the Almansa's battle or the conquest of
Valencia.We vsited all the museum listening to Bob's explanations and
looking at the little soldiers which seemed to be alive.
The
second part of the visit consisted of a presentation of all the
Hollywood films which had been made in Spain. We learned a lot about
history and cinema and we also understood it all because the guide spoke
in a very clear English. One curiosity is that we found out that the
word "Cesarea" comes from Julious Caesar.
The experience was great because we met new students and at the same time we learned a lot of things!!!
Students from Practical English.
