The Scream

Have you ever wished when visiting a museum that you could actually get your hands on the stuff?
Well the British Museum – where we have spent a very long day- have pioneered an innovative project where you get to handle objects.

Today I got to hold a piece of pottery from the Ming exhibition (15th century) but it was this mask from the table of African objects that I decided to blip. A young visitor from Switzerland happened to be standing there at the same time and she agreed to model it.

Do you not think it looks like a modern rendition of The Scream by Edvard Munch?
