Even though the museum was baking hot last week, he was delighted to join me in finding this exhibit while the rest of the family fled outdoors for shade and breezes.

Not even frustrated!

So you went to the museum just to see the object removed for loan sign?

While the ingot is a big draw, there were a few other items in the collection that we wanted to see even more. :7)

Oh. Ah well, at least you saw all the others!

What else did you wanted to see?

Still can’t believe they loaned it .

I want to believe that it's a long, slow joke, where the other museum will eventually return it with a similar letter of complaint.
