2nd December 2010 - Art Gallery of NSW

Today I went with Don and the crew from New Horizons to the Art Gallery of NSW. We weren't there long but we got to see some interesting things.

One of the many halls where valuable collections hang.

A collection of Jingdezhen ware from China

Unknown Japanese china plate

Unknown Artists - 'Tara' and 'Avalokiteshvara' (both 10th century)

It was an interesting visit but you need more than an hour to see everything properly!
