Here a a few unsolicited comments from recent visitors to the new "Wonderful Things" Egyptian Exhibition [Summer 2009]:

Congratulations on a beautifully put together Egypt Exhibition - unfortunately, the lights went out - maybe it added a little extra drama! Very enjoyable. Castle visitor

Good selection of things to see and we particularly enjoyed the Egyptian Exhibition. Having recently visited Egypt it was interesting to see another side to the story. Thank you once again. Organised tour

Exhibition - magnificent - beautifully displayed... Dorset Explorers

Note: Some exhibit lights did power off for a few minutes one day, but were soon switched back on. We cannot guarantee extra drama for all our visitors!
