Not only can museums be highly photogenic places, but here the staff were at ease with having their pictures taken which allowed me to add to my collection of environmental portraits without the sometimes tricky need to negotiate. In most other situations you would have to explain why you wanted to take a picture.

I love the way that local people who work here manage to get into the character of the times through their dress and manner.
