Des Kaisers geschenkte Kleider

Dear Friends

first of all let me apologize for the lack in the advertising of the temporary exhibitions at the State Museum of Ethnology (Staatlische Museum für Völkerkunde) here in Munich. The decision of visiting said temporary exhibitions was taken late on last Friday.

Anyway, the exhibition Des Kaisers geschenkte Kleider presented precious oriental objects and dresses decorated with dragons ad vegetable motifs sometimes carried out by gold threads. If the dresses in themselves suggest power and solemnity, this motifs, I think, give an idea of movement and lightness to these otherwise heavy dresses.

Any comment from your side is welcome.
