Costumes d'enfants : miroir des grands : Établissement public du musée des arts asiatiques Guimet, 20 octobre 2010-24 janvier 2011

"In tribute to the great collector Krishna Riboud, who devoted his life to his passion for Asian textiles and formed the rich set now preserved at the Guimet Museum, the exhibition addresses the theme of childhood in the largest continent of the world rich in tradition and ancestral know-how. "Children's costumes, the great mirror" offers a panoramic view of the unusual clothing worn in ceremonies of state, religious celebrations or daily by the "little men" in countries as diverse as India, China, Japan and Indonesia"--Musée Guimet website
