I would have touched it. When younger I touched the Brancusi sculpture in the Yale Art Gallery all the time--I tend to touch everything I can get my hands on-- [-X . I have checked on the Brancusi and it seems to be doing fine, though.

How big is that moon rock in London? I was disappointed that the moon rock at KSC was so tiny. Tomorrow I'm going to check out Johnson Space Center, now that school will have started, which I haven't been to since I first came to Houston (and thought then, it wasn't very exciting). It's very kids-oriented now and unfortunately the most interesting parts are not publicly accessible. I really want to hold a substantially sized moon rock. I guess everyone just wants that tactile connection. I thinking finding a meteorite would be fun too...should head up to Canada.
