Having been highly critical of the apparent sloth of the British Museum in dealing with its thefts, I am delighted that they have recruited Mark Jones as its interim director, having nothing but admiration for his stewardship of the V&A – the development of its galleries, its excellent exhibitions programme, and his ability to balance tough management with scholarship, all of which skills he will need in such a demanding, even if only temporary, role.
