Chinese display

Dublin Core

Title

Chinese display

Description

This is an image of part of the Chinese display. The amount of items, chairs, tables, cloth, and pottery show that the Chinese came to impress. However, the neatness of the display shows that the workers put time and effort into making the display a place that visitors could walk around in and enjoy the collection. The display is closed in giving it a sense that the visitor has entered another world and is not at the Exhibition any more.
