I walked into the Natural History Museum to find offices on the first floor, and no reception, so I headed upstairs past impressively peeling paint, to find more offices. Back downstairs a nice woman asked if I was looking for an exhibition. I was. There is no permanent exhibition, she said. These are only offices. Oh, I asked, when will there be an exhibition? There is no exhibition, she replied, there is no money for exhibition space.
