Oh boy, I think I know exactly which dioramas you're thinking of because I recall the HMNS's "exhibits" of yesteryear. They've gotten rid of the mannequins but their displays are still pathetic. Another rant that Joe had to listen to, recently. I really wish there were money in museum work because I'd really love to put together meaningful, educational, and exciting archaeologicale exhibits. There's so much potential and it's so often wasted.

That's one of the reasons I so dearly love the Met. I learned so much very cool stuff there and was never bored.
