British Museum Horse Exhibition

[Orangehorse]

If you have been, what did you think?

It wasn't that exciting, some of it was interesting but I sensed a heavy input from the sponsors, if you know what I mean! The detail on the wall carvings was amazing, though.

There was one item which I think was factually incorrect, I must look up the relevant book, even thought it would be a bit of a cheek to question the British Museum on their research!

Nothing more until I have done some reading!

I thought it was a good effort (reward the try and all that as it's rare to find horse history in the mainstream), but came away a little frustrated that it wasn't more detailed. Some translations of the arabic documents would have been good, as would more examples of the Blunt's writings. I'm pleased we went though.
