Challenge 741: The museum library
Visited the Canario Museum in Las Palmas, which is one of the dullest and poorest curated museums I've ever had the misfortune to spend time in.

Here's a typical exhibit, with a label that tells you nothing:



The museum has its own library, which is miserable in the extreme. Can you brighten it up a little?

High res is here.

There is a book called "Sh*t days out" - if there is ever an international version this surely would make the cut

Re: Challenge 741: The museum library
I was just contemplating spheriods as opposed to library too. But I hadn't thought of anything that clever! Love it.

Family come to stay - so tremendously rushed job this week.

With apologies to Ant for, not only plagiarising his idea, but stealing his material too!! Think of it as imitative flattery ............

I have actually been to no 3 and the very last when location hunting for a film in Portugal.

These libraries are just wonderful!

Brightened Up II
You really had to set up a lot of equipment for your spheroid shoot Steve.

Is that the curator in white?

Re: Challenge 741: The museum library
Steve, I am curious. In a beautiful place like Gran Canaria why were you mooching around a second-rate library?

"Because I was looking for a good picture for the Friday Challenge" is the wrong answer!

I was so impressed with Tony's (ANT) egg solution I had to incorporate it into my design.

Eggs-traordinary how my quick Eggs-hibition entry has scrambled such a cracking response and the idea wasn’t even poached….. I’ll get my cote.

Thanks, Josephine, for the beautiful libraries. My own effort is now starting to look boring.
