Did you know there will be a travelling exhibition of Silk Road treasures visiting Australia next year, but while it will be in Melbourne and Perth it is not coming to Adelaide *sulks*

This one? http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum/whatson/coming-soon/afghanistan/ It looks good, buuuut the one I *really* want to see is this one: http://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/travelling_the_silk_road/home bc it covers a broader period and several of the cities I researched and wrote about. Now I see the Canberra one is on until July, I actually might do a day trip for it. If I can afford it. Stupid plane fares. ANYHOO. I've been sulking over that one bc it's not even going to Sydney! Just Canberra.

The other one I'm eyeing with a view to a day trip is treasures of Alexander the Great from the St. Petersburg Hermitage museum: http://www.alexandersydney.com.au/

Yes, the first one is the one I was thinking of. The Alexander one looks pretty cool. I might have to point that one out to my mum...
