Multiple Copies and Loan Status

When you are sending me book orders, it is very helpful if you let me know if you need mutiple copies. We usually say one book per ten students as a general rule.

Also, I can make the books one week, four week, not for loan (reference only, kept in main collection ) or short loan (kept behind library counter and can be loaned for 4 hours only). It would also be helpful if you could let me know which loan status you prefer.

Thanks!

Sacred Made Real - National Gallery Exhibition

This exhibition brings together paintings and painted wooden sculptures by the great Spanish realists of the 17th century. ‘The Sacred Made Real' provides a reappraisal of the crucial role of these hyper-realist sculptures in the development of Spanish art

This is an exhibition that you will either love or hate. I loved it - beautifully curated. I recommend audioguide.

Maharaja: Splendour of India's Royal Courts

http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/maharaja/


The exhibition at the V & A spans the period from the beginning of the 18th century to the mid-20th century, bringing together over 250 magnificent objects, many being lent from India’s royal collections for the first time. It examines the changing role of the maharajas within a social and historical context and reveals how their patronage of the arts, both in India and Europe, resulted in splendid and beautiful objects symbolic of royal status, power and identity.

I especially enjoyed the Art Deco section at the end!
