This is the sort of thing I love: technically difficult detail which contributes artistically to the whole. The artifacts range from cigarette cases and door bells, clever picture frames, several quite lovely clocks (I admit to lusting after a triangular red specimen), to this tiny sedan chair, roughly life size in this picture.<\/p>\n<p>The display is not perfect. Some of the signs are not as well-lit as they might be, and several were placed at a height of three\u00a0feet, making reading difficult. I understand that a sign may not be affixed to a glass panel, but some other solution would have been better.<\/p>\n<p>But this is a quibble. Those who love\u00a0Faberg\u00e9, or just miniature detail work, should know this exhibit\u00a0may not reappear for another 30 years in this area, so make your plans to visit <em><strong>TMORA<\/strong><\/em> before\u00a0February 26, 2017, and enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday my Arts Editor and I attended the opening of an exhibition\u00a0called Unknown\u00a0Faberg\u00e9 at The Museum of Russian Art.
