History of the World 2

Here is a second collage of some of the items at the History of the World Exhibition in Canberra.

As I was taking a photo of the blue bowl, seen here in the top left of this collage, I heard a woman who was standing next to me saying to her husband, 'If there's a fire while we are in here, grab this for me please' ha ha.

Sorry I am a bit absent at the moment from 365. Since we got back from Canberra my feet haven't touched the ground. I have tried to catch up this afternoon though.
Another lovely collection Babs 😊

@pcoulson Yes it is beautiful isn't it. It is the ship's chronometer from HMS Beagle. I think I would need a truck to take some of my favourites. Maybe it would need to be a slow burning fire. ha ha.

@casablanca David would take the coins too. These are pieces of eight dating from 1598 to 1621.

@paul10 @susiemc @gilbertwood @tonygig @365projectorgjenfurj @pcoulson @happysnaps @cruiser @marie65 @casablanca @hermann @merrelyn @beryl @leestevo @seattlite @craftymeg @homeschoolmom @carolmw @claudiet @pixiemac Thank you all so much. It would seem that a lot of you have your favourite items. As I said to Peter, I think it would have to be a slow burning fire because I could take home lots of the pieces from this exhibition, maybe I would need a truck to carry them all.

The oldest piece in this collection is the Karpathos Lady (centre left) 4500-3200 BCE. She was found in Karpathos, Greece and it is not known whether it represents a real woman or if it is a fertility goddess. Either way she could be quite a conversation piece in your lounge room couldn't she.

Love the blue bowl!

Your collages are reminding me of my undergrad days when I thought it would be really exciting to work in a museum. Life took a different path, but I still enjoy looking at artwork.
February 3rd, 2017  
Thanks for sharing this exhibition Babs, it's one I'd like to see but won't get to.
February 3rd, 2017  
I've been really liking your arrangements of these great subjects. I think the museums would love to have your collages for exhibition purposes or post cards.
