Amid the glittering company and self-congratulation, who could have imagined that revolution was less than two years away? But that's not the story of an art collection. It's the universal story of an elite too busy gorging itself to notice the Unexpected Guest, standing at the door. Interesting conclusion...

Incredible art work kept in a vault instead of being on daily display to open the minds and creativity of the children. How sad.
