Default Re: Museums

Maybe it's the museum trade's response to the plummeting attention span of their average visitor?

Maybe someone wrote a paper for a peer-reviewed journal about how the number of exhibits detracted from the appreciation of the space in a museum.

"Hancocked" has just been added to my vocabulary.


In the old Dunfermline museum, there used to be the town stocks and branks to amuse the kids, and I remember an especially dodgy looking high pressure oxygen cylinder with deep rust. I do hope it wasn't still at pressure.
