Orient Museum Visit

Last week we took out year 12 and 13 students to the Museu do Oriente in Alcântara. We spent the day looking at shadow puppets, funerary sculptures and miniature japanese inrôs and netsukes. Our students heard stories about the collections and the cultural traditions and myths behind the artwork and were allowed to make drawings. This was a great experience for all of them and here I present some images of the day.
We want to thank Constança Arouca, our guide and lecturer for such a fascinating day.
