About the Tours
There are a number of ways you can wander round this website.
You can make your own way round the website by looking at a list of all the pages and making your own selection from them. Each page has a list of links to pages on related topics.
You can also see a few pages all relating
to one particular topic, presented one after another in order.
We call this a tour.
There are a number of tours, listed below. At the end of a particular
tour, you will come back to this page so that you can select another
tour if you wish. You can of course leave a tour at any point by
following one of the links on the left of each page, or by just going
away. We shall be adding more pages and more tours during the period
of the exhibition (July 2010 to June 2011).The home
