Rail trip: Interlude - the Computer
Sep. 18th, 2010 04:42 pmWhen we went to the Melbourne Museum (to see the Titanic exhibition), we had time to kill beforehand so I headed off for the permanent exhibitions, muttering something about finding the computer. I seemed to remember it being in a side room over there when we visited the museum in 2005, but they've since rearranged everything. It's not exactly something that they'll stick in a back room either. But I knew it wasn't over there or up there because that's where I went last year. We looked above over there, and found some other interesting stuff, (of course, this museum is very full of interesting stuff) and I took photos of some of it.
Then we went and looked at wrecked ship artefacts.
Afterwards, I headed for some seats so I could sit down and address my postcard. (They had no Titanic postcards. I have Titanic postcards. They're not that hard to get. Maybe visitors would buy them instead of the other overpriced stuff in the exhibition gift shop, but postcards can be easily posted or stuck on walls to look, and you can't do that with anything else. The actual museum gift shop though, they have lots of interesting postcards.) Anyway, I dumped by bag on the seat and went off for a toilet break, and when I came back, mother said, "You were looking for the computer?" "Yes." "It's downstairs.
So I went downstairs, and there it was.
