Anything can be art

A wander through the MoMA exhibition currently at the National Gallery of Victoria gives an indication how anything can be viewed as art.

If only I had the wit to think of something like that.

Li Cun Xin

Li Cun Xin is better known as Mao's Last Dancer whose life and achievements in Ballet are the subjects of an exhibition in Brisbane.

The House of Dior Exhibition

I visited the House of Dior exhibition that was staged recently at the National Gallery of Victoria. I'm not a fashionista nor do I have any particular knowledge about fashion but I enjoyed what was on display and I could appreciate that there was considerable art and skill on display.

Here are some photos from my viewing (without comment nor caption).

Ancient and modern

After visiting the Colosseum we moved on to the nearby Museum on the Capitoline Hill to see the Edward Hopper exhibition. A Barbie exhibition was also open but we didn't extend our day to visit it.

A touch of Versailles

The second exhibition we visited whist in Canberra was Versailles: Treasures from the Palace at the National Gallery of Australia. The marketing of the exhibition states it is the first time the treasures have been displayed outside of France. If so, it is an honour for the Gallery and Australia.

It is a spectacular display, highly recommended for those who can make the trip to view it.
