Welcome to this weeks edition of Global Museum.

A week that saw leading audio guide suppliers, Narrowcasters renew their
advertising support, a discerning group of new subscribers, and the
opportunity to throw in an 'off the wall' website that exposes what
mind-numbing menial tasks you might have undertaken had you lived in
Medieval times! (see 'Are You wacked?' )

back then
