On This Day in China

Our Art Gallery Officer is currently in China acting as Courier for Greater Manchester Museum Groups exhibition: Towards Modernity: Three Centuries of British Art. We thought it would be interesting to blog about her oriental experiences.

Made it to Zhengzhou.

Went across to Henan Museum this evening to oversee the crates being moved into the gallery and met the art handling team who seem great. 

Then we got taken for dinner by three staff from the museum - one of the directors, the head of exhibitions and someone from the digital department - all women and we entertained them with our vegetarianism!

So tomorrow morning we start the take down and condition checking which we have three days to do before the customs checks on Tues and then the transit to Changsha on Weds. 

Because I went to see the crate move, I got to see the exhibition which looked very 'proper' and well done. So funny seeing our paintings in a museum in China!
