Some multi-coloured beach huts have appeared to liven up the foyer during the summer. Inspired by the resurgence of British (Credit Crunch) holidays, these give a real weather-proof alternative to a wet Cornish beach.They are empty because everyone has naturally gone to the Museum. Volunteers have been banned from using the deckchairs for a short snooze while on duty. 'Gone crabbing on NMMC pontoon' says a sign.
Mike Rangecroft has already asked if he can use the huts later in the season for Punch & Judy shows on the square and Debs is practising her Gypsy Rose Lee impressions for a fortune telling event.
Also in the foyer are some new paddle signs with simply-worded teasers of what is inside the Museum. After hours of discussion on what we should be saying in the foyer has come to the principle: 'simplest is best'.
The fabrics were charmed out of http://www.deckchairstripes.com/ by Milly. Bids for the fabric at the end of the season to her please.
