Yes, the info notes are not clearly linked to the objects (I made that point in my post above). It was also crowded and the exhibition should have been over a longer period with fewer numbers allowed for each showing.

Low light levels are necessary as objects (even those without pigments) can suffer at higher levels. Cases in the Shanghai Museum for example are automatically lit only when someone stands in front of them - the rest of the time they're in total darkness.

Thanks LS. The light levels were fine for the objects (which ironically given your comment were the one thing the light was actually on), but they really could have lit the info panels better.

Also, most of the objects were carved stone/bone, so I'm not sure how damaging a slightly raised light level would be? (If lighting affecting the modern pictures was a concern, they could have lost them from the exhibition, for all they added).
