We visited this exhibition today. All I can say is that I can't recommend it highly enough. It's beautiful, amusing, unexpectedly modern in style despite its great age (some of items were 1000 years old) and very touching in a pretty weird way. Looking on those potteries you can see where the abstractionist art took its inspiration from - only this art is better, fresher, more honest. Did I convince you to go and take a look yet? :) If not, look here.
