More on the way Sugar.

Didn't have time, unfortunately, had to get back to make the mining museum. Just stopped for lunch at Earls, a quick tour of the town, and some souvenir shopping. Was served by a girl from Dublin

Oh, I think, photos can show just a small impression of that great art works. It is the same with the pyramids, or with the Grand Canyon or with all the other natural or artistic works. You have to see it with your own eyes.

But your photos, I'm sure, show us a big part of the wooden art. Are there signs in the museum, which admonish you: "Don't touch"? Or can you feel the wood with your hands?

Most of the exhibits are behind barriers

They're either just ropes or made of glass so they don't spoil the view.

There were guards and guides keeping an eye on visitors too.

Some you could touch like the Haida Bear

Pah, such barries are not nice, espedially if you want take photos.

But it is good to hear, that you can touch some of the art works. In my opinion the experience is greater, when you can touch and look.

Honestly, I didn't feel that the barriers were a problem. They never got in the way of my photos. I guess you have to balance between giving people access and protecting the exhibits.
