The Lewis Chessmen: Unmasked

Responses to the Lewis Chessmen: Unmasked

What have visitors been saying?

"Need to return to spend more time enjoying this exhibition."

"Hey museum! My visit here was fun and if I didn't live so far away, I'd probably come back soon. Canada"

"Lovely to see all these figures. It's funny when you are from Scandinavia. P.S. We love the Harry Potter. How cool is it that Wizard Chess comes from these figures?!"

"At last an attempt to explain some of the story, history and myths of these fascinating objects. Well done! And thank you."

"The Lewis Chessmen rock!"

"A lovely exhibit - such strange sad faces with their bulging eyes and glum mouths, hunched in ivory silence. I was thrilled to see so many of the pieces."

What a find - it doesn't matter if we never find who did them or where they actually come from. They are a wonderful treasure."

"I wanna marry every chess man there is on this exhibit, that's how much I liked it! Wowie!"

"Such interesting faces!"
