Some snapshots of the exhibits that have recently ended their runs at the Art Science Museum – the exhibits are really attractive and well curated, so it’s worth your money to go see if there’re special exhibitions on that you’re interested in.
Silk Road
I liked the lights which told us our ‘location’ along the Silk Road (left); check out the embroidery along the perimeter of the display of silk work cocoons (right)
An ancient weaving loom (above); it was quite fun playing with the settings on my camera to capture the lights (below)
Attractive and life-like displays of food always catch my eye (above); there were interactive elements like embossed stamps visitors could collect as they ‘travelled’ along the Silk Road (below)
A scene from Baghdad below – love the cloth!
Genghis Khan
The simple but attractive entrance area
Above left: I’ve never seen an imperial passport in the flesh!
Below: What a wonderfully efficient weapon to disembowel one’s enemies!
Beautiful and intricate etchings on a Mongolian sword (above);
words embroidered using gold thread (below)
The two artefacts above seem very Korean to me; below is a child’s yurt – we entered it and the furniture creaked when we sat down :S
The following are some things that have originated from the Mongolians which you’d never have known
Some items from the gift shop above :)
