This is a classic example of why curators should not consume copious quantities of red wine when planning an exhibition. Then again, perhaps they should.

A quote: “Bizarre! That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a museum in my whole life”. (Head Curator, Australian Museum, Sydney.) N.B. He doesn’t curate heads. It means he’s the boss. “It’s Just Not Cricket” proves its okay to have a good belly laugh in a museum. And at museums, for that matter. This exhibition includes “The Evolution of the Cricket Bat”, a very droll story. That means it’s a joke as well.
