Event - National Library - January 30 - 28 August

Quite interesting display of books, ledgers, a few artifacts, letters, and records. I quite enjoyed the gallery.

When I visited Cambodia and Vietnam, I was amused by the extensive use of hammocks! Today I saw the books from 19th century travellers and observers. Their picturisation of the common transportation, was a hammock carried by 2 people! The traditions and ways of life didn't change much in these wonderful countries.

Letters by Sir Stamford Raffles and his wife to important people in their lives. Standing their looking at his hand writing, I wondered how much of thought and time went into forming those words and how much the reader must have cherished the feelings.

Moving ahead, I saw this wonderful pink silk scroll on display. I need much more light and magnifying glasses to read it. However, the display on the wall told the whole story.

I will update in a day or two. As of now,  I want to post quickly so tht you can visit the gallery and enjoy it as much as I did. Happy Viewing!
