Travel Script of the Gaze - Works of Casa Ásia in the Francisco Capelo Collection

The script of the Casa Ásia - Francisco Capelo Collection is an excellent edition of over 100 pages, printed on high-quality paper and illustrated with beautiful photographs of various pieces in the museum's collection. 
The introductory texts contextualize, with engaging language and scientific rigor, the daily life, culture, and religion of the 14 countries represented in this Collection: Cambodia, China, Korea, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, East Timor, and Vietnam, over a time span that encompasses 2300 years of the extraordinary history of the Asian continent. 
A script is by definition an educational resource, essential in any museum. In this collection, its consultation is particularly useful as it allows one to go far beyond aesthetic enjoyment and understand each work in its historical and cultural context.
With a compact format, it was designed as a detailed, illustrated, and enjoyable reading guide, which, due to its quality, is a reference work that enriches any library.
