A panel covered in bright, shiny sequins that spell out the word JOY
A close-up of a rhinoceros beetle rendered in bright red, yellow and pale purple, on a multicoloured background.
A large, bright painting of a Persian bird that is the main character in an ancient tale. It looks like my idea of a phoenix, but this bird is called Simurgh.
A narrow corridor with a shiny black floor, purple walls and multi-coloured, reflecting discs hanging from the ceiling.
The #Joy exhibition at the #ImmigrationMuseum in #Melbourne3000 was really, really good. Colour, wit, ancient stories all helped to lift my spirits. The museum also has a library where you can sit and leaf through books. Get thee to it before it ends, um, next year. 🥰
If you’re in Melbs and looking for outings in January this might be of interest. 😎
