Pain And Swelling In Wrist And Pinky Side Of Palm

NEPAL VANUATU Foreign Affairs not WHARF BRANLY

IN THE WHITE EYE MASK NEPAL PRIMITIVE The "small" exhibition in the mezzanine of the permanent museum, composed of twenty masks, donated by Marc Petit, is interesting for several reasons:
  • it is unexpected, because Nepal is best known for its Hindu majority (about 75 to 80% of the population), and its Buddhist minority (15%)
  • forms of masks are far from agreed, seeming often express strong emotions and tortured
  • While mainly wood, we could believe them sometimes metal or stone.
Interview with Marc Petit, writer and collector, is interesting for its approach: a first contact with the galleries of St Germain, then travel.

I have excellent memories of my first contact with Nepal in spring 1983: a medieval atmosphere, sets the first images of "Tintin in Tibet", a mysticism of the architecture of the 2 main religions, high mountains both near and far, a good atmosphere and trekking backpacker child, freed of artificial paradises of the previous generation. And gag: the avenue to the palace quickly tarred costs in anticipation of the arrival of President F. MITTERRAND http://discours.vie-publique.fr/notices/837089700.html

Lapita ancestors Pacific The other "small" Lapita exposure, is also located on the mezzanine and composed mainly of ceramics found near lost cemeteries, and more recent objects containing the same reasons.
objects from this "civilization" dating from the 1st and 2nd millennia BC, which took shape in the Pacific Islands between New Guinea and Western Polynesia, have more archaeological interest and imagination.

In fact, say that the peoples of southern China and Taiwan have passed through the Philippine Islands and New Guinea between 1500 and 2000 BC to reach thousands of km in the islands, mingling partially local populations, remains fascinating.
another aspect, there is more geopolitical always an archipelago "Bismarck", west of New Guinea, showing that colonialism from March to May "great" nations in the 19th century n 'was no limit http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nouvelle-Guin% C3% A9e_allemande .

The two exhibitions, included in the permanent collections, typically leave the time and concentration to visit certain parts or just stroll through this beautiful exhibits from the 5 continents. To see until January 9, 2011.

Scenography Branly Museum ever leave me puzzled: a ramp without end and without any other attraction than a game of words that move on its soil through light projections, a dark atmosphere, just to preserve fragile parts, a little to expose a mysterious atmosphere, much to hurt the eyes in the long run and not much to distinguish detail and provide the beauty of objects: dark objects on a black background does not "emerge" not in spite of a skylight.
I always thought that some architects should be condemned to live every day in what they created, particularly in the case of public places and when they are famous.
Some stations, some airports or other locations would then be designed less for some egos and in vitro (even with the most powerful CAD) and in vivo and to my peers.
