20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Mummy Returns
17. That's Not The Real British Museum
If you know your British geography and architecture, you might've noticed that the brief exterior shots of the legendary "British Museum" aren't really the British Museum at all.
In actual fact, because the museum was undergoing external renovations and was covered in scaffolding when the film was being shot, it was unusable for the production.
And so, the crew scouted similar locations around the nation's capital and settled upon University College London, which is at least just a short walk away.
And to the filmmakers' credit, the two buildings look incredibly similar with their pillared exteriors, the only major difference being that UCL has a dome on top of its roof. Bravo.
