Thank you, Antonio. It's a real treat to see how an exhibition like this comes together.

If time permits, please continue to post updates.

Best,
Andrew

Most kind of you Andrew,

Time is very scarce. It will be stress up to the last minute. This is a whale of an exhibition

And I guess if the exhibition was not inside my mind... it would be really scary. It is still scary to mount almost 300 items.

Meantime a picture about an overall presentation of the exhibition for the volunteer guides.

Here is a picture of the mountain people from Mark's site.
They will be guiding schools and so forth.

Very best,
Antonio

Outstanding, Antonio. I'm getting quite excited about the exhibition.

I know the catalogue release will be delayed because of its great size and scope but, in a way, this makes not being there that much easier because once the exhibition closes, we'll still have something to look forward to!

Thanks Andrew,

Indeed the design department is treating each of the 278 photos (if I well remember) by removind unwanted things in the background, and so forth.

Nonetheless, here is a picture of the center display case which has two sides facing two opposite walls.

Prepared to be painted black.

Here I'm directing the placement of partitions to visually separate different periods in the Korean display section.

Then with the partitions hung and the frame painted black and still a lot of mess. When the ceiling lights are turned off, everything will look dark.
Only display cases lights will show its contents.

Off to work in an hour... Now its a non-stop until it's done.

As soon as the design department has pictures I will upload them and hope to see the website finished.

Thank you for your kind words.

The Dateline always confuses me .
Is the premier tonight , tomorrow , or was it yesterday ?

Antonio Cejunior · 13th May 2006, 01:48 PM

No problem Rick,

It is earlier here, meaning that May 12 came earlier to Macau then to the US. Average time difference is twelve hours.

I wish to thank everyone of you involved, and while the site is not finished, I've uploaded the opening pictures here

Hope you all enjoy enjoy early pictures.
Now I need to sleep

Bless you all

Bravo, Antonio! It is so exciting to see it all there, and the public examining the exhibits so intently.
