On the contary. They are excellent for the conditions. I know how difficult it is to get decent photos in the average museum.

That's the second photo of a He 162 I've seen in this forum today.

Just a n00b question, is that the original Big Beautiful Doll?

If so... It's a deep shame it's hanging there(for I'm a person who doesn't like hanging airplanes:P)

Nope. Of the top of my head, I believe it was a RCAF example...

[edit]...and a quick google confirms it is:

RCAF 9246, ex P-51D-25-NA 44-73979 delivered 6 December 1950; served shortly with No. 416 Sqn, wfu 16.5.1951, to A612 (RCAF) Instructional airframe

It was restored at IWM Duxford in the 1980s.

Being a converted hospital there is no other space to put them!

Several restored P-51ds are painted to represent 'Big Beautiful Doll' in 78th Fighter Group checkerboard markings including airworthy examples in the UK & US. Not sure that any of them are original. Colonel John Landers served with several units of the 8th Air Force in Europe including 78th, 357th and 361st FG flying P-38
