Dear Museum Makers....

....here's an idea. You know you're always banging on about children not visiting museums? Well, how about not putting eerie faceless mannequins right at the front, facing the entrance, so that the first thing the kiddies clap their eyes on is something that looks as though it's just been summoned from the dark side.

Saying that, the staff are awfully lovely and always give the frightened children badges when they leave. I like to think of them as medals for bravery.
