Turkey

IstanbulO Military museum:

While in Istanbul I plan to go and see the military museum which contains one

thousand years of Turkish military history as well as one of the leading museums of

it’s kind. It was also once the site of an Ottoman military academy. During our unit

of the medieval times we studied Constantinople which is

now Istanbul, which is where this museum is located.

Gallipoli

O Gallipoli war museum

O During my visit to the Gallipoli war museum I will see lots of relics of the campaign like: weapons, uniforms, ammunition, letters written from soldiers to their families, photographs, and private belongings. Gallipoli was the cite of the battle of Gallipoli which we studied during the World War I unit. The war museum will have many things about the battle of Gallipoli on exhibit for me to see.

Italy

Rome

O National Museum of Rome

O Inside this museum I will find some of the world’s most important archeological collections. It has four floors of sculptures, frescos, mosaics, coins, and jewels. During our study of the medieval times, we studied the Holy Roman Empire. Many remnants will remain from such times in this ageless museum.

The Coliseum

I will be traveling to the coliseum in Rome. Originally known as the Flavian Amphitheater, the coliseum was completed in 80 AD. The Coliseum was a place designed to entertain the public with games. The coliseum was extremely large: 188 meters by 156 meters and could hold up to 55,000 people with only 88 entrances. It is located in Rome and holds historical importance about the entertainment during the time from 80 AD to 847 AD when it was broken during an earthquake. The coliseum was used to host games, but it also helped to increase the popularity of emperor. wish me luck!

England

Greater LondonO The Globe theater:The globe theater was foundedby an American actor and director by the name of Sam Wanamaker. This is a unique place which is dedicated to the exploration of Sir William Shakespeare's work. A theater dedicated to the performance of the many plays he wrote. This place is a rebuilt form of the former Globe theater built only a few hundred feet from it's original standing place. The Globe theater holds many historical treasures and plays from Shakespeare. The globe theater was studied during our play unit in language arts and was the main cite where Shakespeare's plays were performed.

LondonO TARDIS set tours:The Tardis set tour is a tour thatallows Doctor who convention attendees the opportunity to visit the set of the Tardis of the eleventh doctor. The tours are located on the set of doctor whoin BBC Wales studios at Upper Boat. During the tour the behind-the-scenes team are going to be on hand to show and explain the inner workings of the Tardis and answer any question about the Tardis and the workings of the show “Doctor Who”. I can't wait!!

The Netherlands

AmsterdamO The Anne Frank museum:

This museum is dedicated to the Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank; a Young girl who girl who hid from the Nazi for a total of 2 years in a secret annex. In the museum I am going to see the secretroom where Anne Frank spent 2 years of her life waiting out the war. I will be able to see her "favorite quotes notebook" and her "tales book.“ Thisplace is a historical representation of World War II and the pain that it caused people like Anne Frank, one of the most famous World War II stories.
