A bit of a mix up at the beginning but Marion sorted everything. Really great at setting context and giving info on each item and she was obviously passionate about the art. We loved it all. Not her fault but some bottle necks at the museum were not pleasant but that’s just because of the crowds. Can’t help feeling that numbers should be restricted.
