Palladio exhibition

Hi All,
I read a review of the Palladio exhibition in the Times recently, which I found interesting and I thought that some people might like to read it. The criticism is pretty relentless but seems to encapsulate the problems facing a curator designing an architectural exhibition.

  1. Hi Jennifer.....
    exactly....I think that it seems that the key to this exhibtion (as the reviewer tacitly suggests) is that its a mirror for its intended audience...and if all the designers/curators can do is to, Gradgrind-like, present 'fact, fact, fact' then no wonder it appears (to the reviewer anyway)as so dry.....but we've not seen it?...have we...or has anyone been down to London to take a look?....

    Well done anyway...only day 2 of the Blog and already 2 posts!
