The review doesn't say where the exhibition is, but I just checked, it's at the Freer, which is part of the Smithsonian, in Washington DC. I live in the DC metro area, so am looking forward to seeing this.

Anybody coming here for the Inauguration may wish to add it to their list. So many excellent things to do here and see here, but the Smithsonian's less well known museums are as excellent as the well known ones.

Interesting. Thanks! It kinda reminds me of some of the black and white Native American pottery I've seen.
