I am very fond of visiting exhibitions. Exhibitions
are of various types. But the exhibition which I saw a few months ago at
Al-hamra Art Gallery Lahore was the most impressive. In this exhibition were
displayed articles of various types. But mainly it was an exhibition of hooks,
paintings, graphics, and clay models. Almost all the halls of Gallery were full
with the displayed articles.
As I entered the main gate, I saw a huge statue
made of clay. This was a very grand statue. For me, it was really a piece of
art. Then I entered one of the halls where books were displayed. There were
books almost of all the subjects. Books on science, technology and
engineering were displayed in one of the corners. The books on art subjects
like history sociology, political science, economics and literature were
displayed in one of the corners. There were huge volumes on almost all the
branches of science and humanities. The works of Shakespeare attracted greater
crowds. Some of his works like Macbeth. Hamlet Othello were selling like hot
cakes.
The hall in which clay models were displayed was
also the center of attraction. The clay models included pitchers, kettles. Glasses
dishes, saucers as well as figures of men and women. These clay models appeared
very beautiful. The children were really delighted to see these toys of clay.
The exhibition increased my knowledge. I was really
impressed to see the various exhibits. This exhibition continued for a
fortnight. It attracted lakhs of visitors. This was as a matter of fact an
exhibition organized on international scale. Many big countries like America.
Russia, England. West Germany. France. Japan Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc. participated
in this exhibition. They displayed their best works in sciences and humanities.
Some of their top artists and painters were also present during the exhibition days;
this exhibition has left an everlasting impression on my mind.
