Interesting opportunity to see and learn
Obviously the items in this exhibition aren’t real, so comments complaining about that are just ridiculous… but this exhibition is very well done, it’s informative, immersive and whets the appetite to see the ‘real deal’. Not sure the full price would be worth it - but the bookme price I think is.

Underwhelming
A collection of approx. 450 replica pieces is pretty ridiculous. And staff continuously referring to the pieces as artifacts makes things even more ridiculous. The items on display are made of the same materials as the smaller items for sale in the Thombs shop. Pathetic.
