Could some Goan in the UK who is not involved in
selling red mercury visit this exhibition and tell
this list all about it. I believe this exhibition
could harness some information about Goa in the past.

A new show at London's Victoria & Albert Museum,
"Encounters: The Meeting of Asia and Europe 1500-1800"
(through December 5), explores the vibrant exchange of
art, technology, ideas and luxury goods that resulted
from his voyage. More than 200 exhibits�including
paintings, tapestries, jewelry, furnishings and
maps�trace what is essentially the conjoining of two
worlds. Each carefully selected work tells an
enthralling story all its own: the Fonthill vase is
the earliest recorded piece of porcelain to reach
Europe; a chair made out of the remains of an
elephant, once the pet of Emperor Maximilian II�an
ill-fated gift he received in Austria in 1552.
