I'm down to the last 50 or so countries and it's starting to get a bit tricky to find things for some of them so I headed back to the British Museum in the hope I might uncover some new countries there.
I was quite surprised to find that the Americas galleries consist of North America and Mexico only. I think South America could be the continent that I struggle with the most at the end of the journey round the world.
I did have some luck though with a pot from Togo I also saw some work by a Togolese artist at the design festival but some of the artists were in the gallery so I got intimidated and didn't make any notes (artists can be quite intimidating in their own arty way!).
Anyway back to the British Museum for the next few posts...
