We just got back from the opening of the 'Paradise Lost' exhibit. It is an exhibit of Roma art and is considered a big event, gypsies being recognized for their art and culture here in a European museum. The event was really something with Flamenco musicians and a dancer followed by Roma musicians, free wine, sparkling water, and juice. To top it all off we previewed the exhibit. Anja was really impressed with the art that appeared to be painting until you approached it and realized it was millions of beads stuck together to form a picture. There was also photography and I really liked a painting of a gypsy caravan being carried in the air by doves.
