Burma And The Art Of Lacquer, British Museum, 24 July 2000

Janie and I went on a bit of a culture vulture odyssey that day, visiting the British Museum, the (then brand new) Tate Modern and then the V&A.

Of the three visits, this was the one that got the top rating from me…I’m pretty sure from both of us, in my log:

Marvellous.

This write up by Sue Arnold in the Observer provides some additional words of praise.

But words can’t do it for for this type of exhibition. You’d either need some sort of virtual reality, metaverse retrospective…or you had to be there.
