Orientalism 2007 style

Over on My Paris Your Paris I’ve written up my visit to the Musee du quai Branly, the new “ethnographic” institution. The objects are magnificent, the curation astonishingly Neanderthal – indeed that’s being insulting to Neanderthals to suggest it. And watch out for the design – it is a model in how not to construct a public building.

(I’m afraid you’ll have to look at it in page format at the moment – having some technical issues, but hopefully it is fairly readable!)
