Exhibit

Dear patrons,

I forward this announcement that the exhibit "Body & Soul" is on display, currently.

This exhibit cases the works of "Pan Yuliang," a Chinese prostitute turned artist who was the first women to paint in the western way after studying in Paris into the 20th century. (Controversal, yes.)

I recommend you find time to visit during your SL adventures. Her works are very nice and the hosts explain her story. One woman is playing a chinese instrument live. :)

Happy exploring.
