I love in the museum Tudor Kingdom jewellery,art and stuff. I saw hilarious kingdom arts,paintings,sculptures and armor. The first part consist full of Stone Age stones,spears,arrow heads, rocks,axes,torch woods. Second part is the Tudor Kingdom exhibitions. The history of Richmond,Kew,Petersham and Ham are in here. But Richmond history is the most dominant one.
