Speaking of the Capitoline Museums, we also visited them yesterday afternoon. At the end of our visit we cam across the museum's guest book and had a bit of fun reading through the comments left by previous guests. One unfortunate sod, clearly tired and emotional and a little bit confused had written:
Capitoline Museum - it is NOT ALLOWED for you to charge so much entry fee and not have a prospect available in English!! You have not prospects in my language in any case but I speak English and you should have prospect in that language!!!! I have been lost in the museum trying to find DAVID!!!
Aside from the dubious claim that this chap 'speaks English', I'm worried that he spend an afternoon wandering around the museum trying to find a sculpture that's in Florence.
Equally amusing was another comment that described the Capitoline Museum's collection of classical Roman statuary and busts with particularly Australian eloquence:
The Raes of Ballina, Australia - Great museum - Bust city!

Too right. Bust city.
