The Pitt Rivers is a fantastic museum and with lighting levels and labels that would never be allowed today. Few people who visit it are aware that you can ask for a torch at the front desk to help get a really good look at all those shrunken heads. Another wonderful but little known museum is the Flinders Petrie Museum which is attached to UCL in London. It houses one of the greatest collections of Egyptian archaeology in the world. Anyway, don't get me onto the subject of museums........ has anyone ever been to the Museum of Jurassic Technology? Now there's a museum.......
