Those photos somehow to me look as if they have an Egyptian touch. Love the last one in particular. Diane

I always find it difficult to photograph in some museums and at many exhibitions, but you did a wonderful job esp with the light.

The Sao Carlos National Theater is gorgeous! As are the costumes which I assume are being used or have been used in various theatrical productions.

As with all the comments, me too! I've loved this series. The shots are beautiful, you've caught light wonderfully, and the subject is gorgeous! What a treat this exhibition is - wish I could see it in person.

I'm guessing those are costumes from previous presentations? How lovely they are.
