Eve : Dressed for the Occasion

30th Birthday of The Burrell Collection's home in Pollok Park, Glasgow.

Seemingly "Conservation" agreed to the dressing of Adam and Eve in the Courtyard beside the Warwick Vase. I wonder what Auguste Rodin would think of her adornment.

My Birthday wish for the Burrell is that some generous benefactor gives a hefty donation to repair the roof. More buckets and items removed/covered up than I can ever remember.

There is a bid before Parliament to allow items from the Collection to tour internationally. Sir William Burrell's Will does not allow this. It will be interesting to see what develops .... I am not in favour.

Auguste Rodin "Eve After the Fall" 1887. Bronze.
