Garden and Cosmos
GARDEN and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur is a rare opportunity to view a unique type of Indian royal court painting ranging in date from the 17th-19th centuries.
The exhibition features a loan from India and consists of 54 paintings from the royal collection at the Mehrangarh Museum Trust in Jodhpur, which was set up by the current maharaja, Gaj Singh II, in 1972. Remarkably, none of these paintings has ever previously been seen in Europe.

SalvoWEB BUTTONS
THE DIY buttons on SalvoWEB 'inside' pages are being changed. The new button layout will have four compartments showing buttons local, regional, national and international to the user who created them. The local button clickthru rate is the same at 5p. Regional clickthrus will become 10p, national 20p, and international 40p. Existing buttons have all been reset to 'local' so that clickthrus continue to be 5p. If you would like your buttons to appear regionally, nationally and internationally, please login in to your button control panel, click 'view/edit' a button, choose the 'where it appears' tab and 'new chooser' to choose the new location. Old buttons can be removed from the 'old chooser' tab. Programmers are currently working on the system so please watch out for any red text messages.

City Museum in St. Louis
CITY MUSEUM is a museum, consisting largely of repurposed architectural and industrial objects, housed in the former International Shoe building in the Washington Avenue Loft District of St. Louis, Missouri. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly, a classically trained sculptor, the museum opened for visitors in 1997.
Cassilly and his longtime crew of 20 artisans have constructed the museum from the very stuff of the city; and, as a result, it has urban roots deeper than any other institutions'. Reaching no farther than municipal borders for its reclaimed building materials, City Museum boasts features such as old chimneys, salvaged bridges, construction cranes, miles of tile, and even two abandoned planes!
