Ah, I wish i'd know you were there viceroy
Yep it's the 'Friends of the Glasgow Museum' organisation, for some reason 99.9% of them are OAPs
(or so it seems)
My overall impression was good, the place goes on & on, you could easily get lost in it, and that's a good thing. But i'm a moaning git, so a few gripes,
Firstly those heads....what can I say, i'm taking a BB gun next time to deal with them.
The much promoted basement didn't seem that impressive, it's a restaurant and not much else.
The Egyptian room is tiny, i'm sure there's a lot missing, was it sent back to Egypt or something ?
Don't like the new reliance on artificial light in the side rooms, there's now blinds on every window, although I appreciate it's to stop the exhibits fading, & deteriorating, in the sun.
Lastly, the Spitfire is out of place, it looks like it's strafing Roger, it should have went into the new Transport Museum.
On the whole, not bad.
The wee metal owl is cute, I think it's a running theme, the top of the stairs had a tiny knight's helmet. I forgot to check the other staircases. It's nice to see little details like that.
