Hi tsc, glad you managed to get there. Speaking personally it blew me away ... I haven't said too much here as everyone experiences things differently. There were a lot of people when I went too which was inevitably distracting.

I liked the modern comparable art - especially liked Joseph Hecht's engravings of bison.

Hi June,

I'm really glad we went, as the objects were amazing, just a bit disappointed by the presentation - I think we've come to expect better from the BM over the years.

The one thing I did really like was the little photos of animals in the same positions as the carvings (like the lovely little wolverine), that worked really well for me.
