24hrs@acm

guess most of you don't know that our museum is so hip and happening to open through the night, right?

well, it seems that this was brought back by popular demand with free entry round the clock from 22nd till 23rd marking the close of 'on the nalanda trail', an exhibition of buddhist artefacts detailing the spread of buddhism in india, china and southeast asia.

not unexpectedly, the asian civilisations museum was packed. the highlight of the exhibition was of course the bone relics from the only known archaeological find that can be linked directly to the buddha himself. devoutees were praying in the room featuring the relics brought in with special permission of the indian government.

security was tight and no cameras were allowed for that exhibition. janet was there with cayden and sunarsi. how was cayden's first visit to the museum? guess he was totally bored. :P
