Hmmm...who were the curators? was it someone from the museum,an outside source or both? Sometimes with museums-if it's a permanent or time slotted display they will/can give only so much floor space. When I have questions as such that's when I usually try and grab someone who works there and chat them up a bit and see what is what. This is just from a larger picture perspective mind you and what I've learned from the museums I've volunteered at...could be totally off too.
Could the documentary they were selling be the one made a long time ago...by PBS I believe, or didn't the BBC/Channel 4 do one too? Can't remember which, but I can see it in my head:P. Everything mushes together at this time in the morning. d --- Roberto Ty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I went today. I thought it was brief. Extremely > brief.
