While I was in Canberra I thought I’d head to the Museum of Australia and visit the ‘Feared and Revered’ exhibition about female spiritual beings in cultural traditions and beliefs across the world.

Unsurprisingly I guess there were lots of women in the exhibition space looking at the exhibits, but it was hardly busy.

It was interesting. It wasn’t the a sort of exhibition that the children outside were being taken to, for starters this was a paid ticket exhibition instead of the free thing that the other parts of the gallery were.

Also there was a statue with a breasts and exposing her vulva so probably not the sort of thing that primary school children would be exposed to.

There was also some Greek pottery with gay acts being displayed.

And a wine cup which amused me greatly, that you’d be having your bacchanalian party and be given this wine cup to drink from, and as you tipped it up you’d see an image of hetaira pleasuring herself with a phallus.

It just seemed like one of those ultimate sort of amusements at a party.

After wandering through the museum, being disappointed that the Landmarks display was closed, from above it looked interesting but I guess something to see next time.

Then having walked around for about 6 hours or so combined between the two locations I decided to return to my Airbnb lodgings, kinda tired and done for the day.
