On that note, what's with the modern thing of museums being big empty spaces with nowt on display? e.g. you need to take a flask and sarnies for the long trecks between the near-empty and distantly-spaced display cases at the multi-million pound Wallsend Roman fort museum, the £10M Whitby Abbey museum appears to contain less actual finds than the old wooden hut it has replaced, and what the **** has happened at the the Yorkshire Museum (which used to be dead good, not any more)? - I know they have an accute storage problem, but taking 90% of the stuff off display is hardly going to help matters, although I'm sure the 7-year old school parties think its marvellous...luckily on the way out last summer I was surveyed, just for once a useful 10 minutes of my time... }}
