«Mayólica es un término español que se refiere a un método específico de vidriar la loza de barro. Los primeros vidrios que fueron desarrollados en el Cercano y Medio Oriente empleaban el plomo. Estos vidrios eran transparentes, pero con la adición de ciertos minerales, tales como manganeso-pardo o cobre-verde, era posible pintar diseños en un vidrio de plomo porque las pinturas no se fijaban.

Esta cualidad de opacidad es una característica única de la mayólica.»]]> «This exhibit traces the development of ceramic wares or pottery in the ancient Persian Empire of the present day Middle East.

Voulant rappeler les usages conférés aux masques, elle présente actuellement une sélection de masques du Burkina Faso exposés ou en réserve au Musée National des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie de Paris. Grâce à l'intérêt que prêteront les conservateurs au projet que sous-tend l'exposition, nous espérons l'enrichir des photographies accompagnées de leurs commentaires scientifiques, de masques burkinabés conservés dans les autres musées français, puis étendre peu à peu cette présentation à d'autres masques africains issus des collections des musées de part le monde. A terme, cette exposition deviendra un site de référence sur le Masque africain proposant deux niveaux de lecture : une information générale de type didactique et une base scientifique pour les conservations et les chercheurs.

«Alexander Macleay was a collector as well as a bureaucrat of science. For 27 years he was honorary secretary of the Linnean Society of London. His serious minded pursuit of collecting meant that by 1805 his collection was one of the more important in England. When William Kirby and William Spence collaborated to produce an 'Introduction to Entomology' Macleay's collection was a crucial source for the scheme. By 1825 his insect collection was now without parallel in England, not merely because of its size but also for its range and importance of specimens. Over 9000 of them were specimens from which the first published descriptions were made.»]]> «Grab your shoes, don't worry about directions, and get ready to be your own tour guide to one of Canada's many multicultural communities.
