And you can say, wait a minute, I'm just trying to listen to this audio guide.

So it has that kind of isolating experience.

And obviously we're quite keen that people go through the exhibition and they do have conversations with their children or the people that they're going with and saying, oh, look at that.

Can you see this?

Blah, blah, blah.

So I think that's quite important.

But what we're going to do is, instead of having labels in front of the case, which obviously are going to be difficult for people to see, is to have projections of the narrative that the tapestry gives.

We're not using the Latin, we're translating aspects of it, but we're obviously doing it in our own kind of way.

but trying to keep it in the succinct way that the tapestry sort of tells his story.

And the projections will allow people to understand key aspects of the tapestry story.

They will kind of come and go and they will allow people to understand broadly what's going on and highlight the key characters.

So the idea is to use these animations both to kind of help people understand the story,

but also in a subtle way, help people move through that story as well.

Because it's obviously really important that people move through this exhibition.

There's two reasons for that.

One is because deluxe hours, the light levels that we can have on the tapestry, are only available certain hours of the day.

We can't open the doors 24-7.

It's only a limited amount of time that the tapestry can be on display.

So that means there's no room, if you like, you know, if people kind of turn up at, I don't know, four o'clock and they haven't got through in time, then we can't just say, okay, we're going to keep it open for another half an hour, an hour.

There's not any flex in that.
