I'm just saying that if anyone wants to take photos there they should
probably take their own weight in flash units.

They've got some nice stuff. The
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railton_Special and the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smethwick_Engine for example. Their stuff on
steel cut jewelry would be useful for filling in some of the gaps on
wikipedia. But the light man the light.

Thanks, Stevie. I'll be in touch in a week or two, to discuss just
that, once I've seen the lie of the land.

Been there. Has some of the most horrific lighting I've ever run across.
Triceratops skull was nice though. Could you see if they've updated the
lable on the map cowry/map cowrie which refereed to it as "Cyprea mappa"
this appears to be a misspelling of ""Cypraea mappa" which in any case
appears to have been replaced by "Leporicypraea mappa"?

Andy,

Sounds like another interesting role.

Is there a relationship between Thinktank and At-Bristol (see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-Bristol )? Would it be an opportunity to 
encourage them to consider to go down a similar road?

Rod
