In the same programme they later added that they had seen the exhibition
before it was fully installed, and that most of the ceramics were not
in place at the time.

Be prepared for a shock at the British Museum, Liz.
They apparently have just opened an exhibition on
Agatha Christie and her contribution to Archaeology in
the 20thC. Have not seen it myself, but there was a
review on BBC Radio 4 yesterday and the one critic
plaintively commented he had never seen so few pots in
an archaeology exhibition before...

Of course there is still the rest of the collection to
see, but I thought you had better be warned!

Have fun, you lucky lass!
