I ALWAYS ENJOY PICTURES FROM A MUSEUM

. THERE ARE SOME NICE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL WEAPONS THERE IT MAKES ONE WONDER HOW THEY CAME TO BARCELONA.
I TOOK A FLASHLIGHT WITH ME TO THE MUSEUM IN CARIO EGYPT AND PLAYED ARCHEOLOGIST ITS FUN LOOKING INTO CASES IN THE DARK YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL FIND. THE CARIO MUSEUM IS A LARGE ONE AND MANY ROOMS ARE SELDOM VISITED AND POORLY LIGHTED. MOST PEOPLE JUST GO TO SEE THE MAIN EXHIBITS KING TUT ECT. BUT THERE IS MORE TO SEE THAN THAT, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THEY HAVE IN STORAGE.
IN THE OLD DAYS MUSEUMS OFTEN HAD THINGS BUNCHED UP AND OFTEN THE LIGHT WAS POOR SO I STARTED TAKEING ALONG A SMALL FLASHLIGHT LONG AGO. MANY MUSEUMS HAVE BEEN MODERNIZED NOW AND THE LIGHTING IS MUCH BETTER AND THINGS ARE DISPLAYED SEPARATELY AND NOT JUMBLED UP. THE DOWN SIDE OF THAT IS THERE IS ONLY A FRACTION OF THE ITEMS ON DISPLAY WITH THE VAST MAJORITY IN STORAGE.
