When you think about the bigger picture, there are not many large natural history museums in the Middle East. Every additional one of these museums there are, not just for public displays but as repositories for conservation data, for cultural heritage artifacts, if Abu Dhabi follows through and they certainly have the resourcing to follow through this could be a big win for science and education for the region. i think so, yeah. I mean it definitely at least re-upped public interest which had sort of the knock-on effects of shaking the tree.

What I will say, if you look at comparable cities that size, 140 no knocks would cause pause. I'd be looking at that saying,' Let's go through these one by one,' and I hate to say it.
