A new way to look at ceramics

During a visit to the Seattle Art Museum, I found this Porcelain Room.  Instead of having the porcelain on shelves in vitrines, the plates were arrayed more like assemblage, on walls.  Plates seem to be arrayed with most attention to color and form, rather than to chronological or geographical origin. The room was darkened and the porcelain ware was lit dramatically.  It was stunning to see a new way to display these old objects.
The museum is an exciting place with new ideas of looking at things popping up in many corners.  It is definitely worth a visit.
