Although only on for a couple of days I thought it would be wrong not to share this attractive exhibition of Azeri Art which is part of the second Buta Festival of Azerbaijani Art. Both paintings and carpets engross the viewer in a special, timeless world of colour and movement. Do try to get along and see it.
