What I meant was that the museum has presented them very well within their display area - the lighting is magnificent, and there's plenty of room around them to move and look from a distance etc. The images in the exhibitions have always been small yes and I agree they would look better bigger but the production costs go through the roof, hence why we now pay $15 for each entry to cover some of it. Two images have been blown up very large for the entrance and they look great as posters, as does Martin Pugh's image as a poster outside the museum right on North Tce.
