PG: Object Handling Class

Some photos from our object handling class at the Oriental Museum. Our class was spilt into two groups, each taking turns to view the museum collection. That day was closed to the public so that a live online museum lesson can be conducted to the primary school students. The voice of the education officer reverberated around the space as we were ushered into a room. Sitting in front of our chosen art objects, we described the visual elements. What was missing was shared further and almost each object has a fun fact.
