The Triclinium

At some point you will have photographed every last Roman reminant in all Briton.

 

Makes you wonder, maybe UNRV could slowly become the Roman related photograph capital of the www.

Hopefully people follow the copywrite...

If youve visited my msn blog ,you will see that I have posted even more shots relating to each blog entry here.

The strange thing is that museums seem to fall into three groups, 1. badly set up , but you can take any pictures you wish 2. well set up but absolutely no photos allowed. 3.beautifully catalogued but with a fraction of actual artefacts on show, the rest jealously guarded by mad dogs and gorgon like women.

 

Perhaps I should get out less.

What size are those heads, are they big or have you taken a close up phot?

 

As for Museums, I got a chance to visit the Turks and the Persian exhibitions in London. The Turks one was very well set up, the displays were high enough so you could see them, the rooms were well lit and spacious and there were plenty of diverse stuff on display. The Persian one I found a disappointment, the room was small and too badly lit...too many plaster casts instead of real displays (including props from the set of the 'Alexander' film) and the displays were far too close to the ground making it impossible to see them as everyone gathered around them, all i got to see were other people's backs instead of the treasures of ancient Persia.

The heads are substantial, all as large as a mans torso.I sympathise as regards the museums , lighting is crucial , even major art galleries fail to deliver sympathetic displays.
