Could do with more signage, as the elderly or disabled will need the lift and clear direction to toilets. The exhibition was brilliant and such a good idea to set the main hall out like a cabaret to match the theme. Friendly person on door. They may do better with more merchants on sale. Financially, I mean. And more space to sit to watch the video of the interview with the artist? Its a long video so if there are two people already there, you might have to wait a long time. Another option would be to have the video in two places.
