Fragility and Nobility
Seoul 17 April - 31 July 2019 To truly appreciate the glass of 19th century Europe, one must understand about its history, economy, and culture. This exhibition was curated as a way of looking at the value of glassware juxtaposed with the complex historical situation of Europe in the 1800s. Among other items, visitors to Fragility and Nobility: 19th Century Masterpieces of European Glass can encounter the Moser collection, beloved by royals; Bohemia-Indian glassware produced for the Indian market; French mosque lamps designed for both the Islamic market and a European market favoring Islamic patterns; and Hispano-Moresque Bohemian glassware combining elements of Spanish and North African culture.

Closer
London 10 February - 6 April 2019 Today we are more connected than ever before but are we any closer? Despite (or perhaps because of) the dense networking of our society, many still feel lonely and isolated, and finding meaningful relationships in real life, not only online, is perhaps more of a challenge than in previous generations. Given this context, the exhibition aims to look beyond simply being in contact with others and ask what it can mean to be ‘close’ to someone else. Curated entirely from the extensive Barakat Collection the exhibition unites unique and extraordinary objects spread across 8,000 years of human history and celebrates the diverse ways humans come together; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Implicitly it allows a audience to consider what brings us together, more than what keeps us apart. -
