Oh, now these are very nice, Rob (I do like your museum shots). Love the fleeting, insubstantial figure in the first and the solid frozen figure in the second - frozen by the paradox of the sign.

It's such a photo-rich place, everywhere you look. The question is what NOT to photograph.
Yes, I like the girl being startled by the odd sign. Looks like her hand is missing. Or is that a trunk?

LOL. Very normal.

The first one on it's own for me is perfect. Each side having enigmatic qualities that are subtle, yet enough to create a lot of interest. Very clever.,

Thanks again, Julian. I haven't looked at it for a week, and it does look interesting! What was I doing setting up that shot? The blurred figure was fortuitous. This whole building is full of odd angles, light and shade. The architect claims he was influenced by Scottish baronial houses and castles, using elements of both to create an art space. It's a fascinating museum.
