The exhibion, displaying four small sculptures in ivory and a remarkable gilded and black lacquer chest from the “Távora Sequeira Pinto Collection”, Oporto, Portugal, jointly with related Art objects from the permanent collection of the National Museum, at the Sivamokkhabhiman Building, National Museum, Bangkok, was inaugurated on the 17th July.
