But how on earth did they manage to commission and build
that mid-19th century façade and entrance lobby. Perhaps in order to
compete with the Ashmolean at Oxford?
It’s completely out of proportion to the rest of this lovely
town, gigantic and loaded down with second-rate “classical” architecture and sculpture.
It seems to dwarf what lies behind it – just look closely at the photo
above.
Time for a discreet earthquake?
