Getting a decent shot of those things behind glass, in very low light, with no tripod/monopod was challenging (at least for me). Those pieces are about a couple inches long in real life.

This one was much tougher though (even less light) and was in the gems area I think:

Great museum you got there.

Thanks for the comments and pics Thwack. It really is a great Museum. We're lucky here that we've got such nice Museums and Zoos.
