Airports are increasingly serving as public art galleries; makes perfect sense for malls to step up as museums. And where better to start than in Dubai?

I personally think it’s great to have these precious objects available for the maximum amount of people to see. The display is well done and very educational. I don’t see a moral issue with the trade of fossils (unless it results in them not being available for the public to see) but I’ll stand corrected if someone has an argument I haven’t considered! I’m also pleased that we managed to enjoy the exhibit and leave without spending any money in the mall 🙂
