if seems we came at just the wrong moment...too late to see the silk roads...to early to see the grafitti exhibit. there were so many rooms that were unavailable. that saddened me because it just meant something else that we were unable to see.
i nonetheless did enjoy today very much. one of my colleagues is thinking of advising an Asian American club on our campus next year. she has asked me to be co-advisor. i can't wait to tell her about this museum. hopefully this can be our first field trip for the club. there was so much beautiful and wonderful art to experience.
i really enjoyed the similarities that ran throughout the different countries. it makes me wonder, did one country influence all of the others, or are there things that all cultures naturally put together?
i enjoyed the different takes on the representation of Buddha. I didn't know that there were female versions. i wonder what the many different arms represented. i wonder why there were so many differnent styles even in just one country.
seeing the different art brought up a lot of questions for me that i can't wait to explore.
