Durga dismantled

Vibrant green, but not the Hulk

The Durga is coming down in the Great Court, and I was a bit slow getting over there to take any decent photos. So I’ve only got some individual photos of the straw and plaster figurines which have been taken down from their framework before their immersion in the Thames. You can view these in our gallery, but until I get the URL rewrite module working again, I won’t give you the full link.

Just an update on this, check the BBC article for more context on this exhibit.
