It is correct what you say about Chesters being a bit old fashioned but then the board of Trustees for the Clayton Collection tend to keep it that way.
I did work at Chesters some years back and have to say that being a little old fashioned myself I enjoyed all of that.
Chesters is our favourite, too. The old-fashioned display gives it a charm that the new trend for interactive museum displays loses. Being able to look closely at an item is as important as any video display that works half the time and has a lowest common denominator sort of presentation.
We're also very happy that the Vindolanda soldier is wearing a bead. ;-)
