    I enjoyed everything about my visit except for the main exhibition room. Here the lighting was extremely poor Even when I pressed my nose against the glass it was often impossible to read the print on the cards

    I realise that harsh lighting can spoil exhibits over time, but surely some compromise could be reached?

    Maybe on the day somebody forgot to tweak the dimmer switch

    Otherwise, an interesting insight into ancient times.
