San Francisco’s highly-rated Asian Art Museum launched a new special exhibit today – it’s called Emerald Cities: Arts of Siam & Burma.
See?
Read all about this great show from Candace Jackson, Nancy Ewart, Carol Canter, and Janos Gereben. (Civic Center Mike? Hello-oooo?)
So, let’s cue the monks and then check the Facebook:
“The opening ceremony went well! Peaceful, calming chanting and praying culminating in a monk blessing everyone by lobbing water droplets on the audience. Emerald Cities is now officially open, the orchid display goes down after Sunday, and on Sunday …we have our Fall Family Festival — daylong festivities for all ages, and families don’t have to pay the Emerald Cities surcharge!”
And if you drop by the AAA in the next few days, you’ll get to see the orchids.
And win some free tickets here!
Check out this white elephant on Objet 136:
That’s got to be the angriest-looking olliphant ever:
(‘ll post some more shots when they get back from the Photomat.)
A lot of work went into this exhibit so check it out, why don’t you?
See you there!
