Frequent Art Questions

They show a style of seating that was used in various places, during various times and how the idea of a stool evolved. There was also a direct cross-cultural influence of traditional African craft on European modernism in the early 20th century.That display is actually a wonderful example of what "Connecting Cultures" as a whole attempts to convey.
