helmets heart art

And so should you.

In fact, I recommend you get on your bike, your vespa, your hog, your whatever the hells youse calling it these days, and you should go to the National Gallery of Victoria, maybe this weekend. Then you too can leave your helmet somewhere as nice as their cloakroom.  In fact, if you hurry your good self along before March 21, then you can see the Wisdom of the Mountain which is a rather interesting exhibition of bark art from Papua New Guinea, which will create a rather nice symmetry, because I am in fact in Highlands of PNG right now, not  sitting at my little desk in Melbourne gazing at helmets and enjoying the chai lattes.

  1. The best art is in the cloakroom!

    I love this pic.

    Has a nice kinda Copenhagenny feel to it.

    Looks like two lovers left their lids outside a Swedish sauna.

    The IKEA helmet catalogue folk will now feel they have to lift their game!
