For this assignment I went to the Victoria & Albert museum to find inspiration. As soon as i walked into the front doors I got a retro feel from the neon lights in the gift shop and the cardboard cutout of the beetles, along with an intriguing glass chandelier, which was all a contrast to the artwork, sculptures and artifacts from the 1700's and earlier. Even within these exhibits we still see a contrast between modern and more traditional periods of these cultures, as shown by the katanas, samurai armour and traditional theatrical masks being displayed next to modern Japanese objects and merchandise, such as a hello kitty kitchen appliance set and a Lolita outfit. We even see a more religious and monarchical side to ancient Western cultures which is again contrasted by the post modern and retro decorations by the entrance. I am inspired by this because we can actually see how different cultures have changed and evolved with the world around it.
