Quote:Is Vindolanda's museum really 'old world' now? It has changed a bit in the last few years.Definitely not. Its recent makeover has managed to mix a fresh look with a good display. Tullie House, on the other hand, is in danger of appearing a massive fail. It's like Nouvelle Quisine: there's very little there, dumped on a large plate and drizzled with trendy stuff. To be fair, the upstairs Borders gallery is better than the downstairs Frontier thing (which didn't even have any of the armguards on display last time I was there). When I take groups along the Wall Vindolanda and Chesters consistently score highly but TH does not.
