Glass enclosures.

The Oceania room at the Met

In the Oceania room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

ADDED: Since commenters seem unfamiliar with human costumery, let me add this picture I took a few weeks ago at the Museum of Natural History. (These are African.)

Tibet has nicer costumes.

Slightly Sino-fied with typically not very well synchronized moves, but a nice hip move occasionally. (What's that onion ring thing they're wearing?) Dyssynchronism seems to be a feature in general.

Ladakhi takes the award for grunge outfits and lamest dance moves as it moves into the 20th century.

YouTube as museum.

Cover me in conch shells when I die,
Float me out to sea,
Seaweed come and coil around me,
Sink me with a sigh.

Ms.Althouse,

Those train pictures were really cool. When are you coming back to Bloggingheads?
How about an episode about music?

Ron म्हणाले...

Hey Doc! You out artin' around again? Or more shoe shopping?

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

I'll be on Bloggingheads in a few days, barring unforeseen screwups.

Today, I went with my grandnephew to see "The Lion King."

The Menil Collection has a great leather-and-nails Wildman bodysuit that is something out of a Clive Barker nightmare. I couldn't find a picture online, but you can find a reference here .
