Browsing the visitors book in Abingdon County Hall Museum there were a number of comments written in characters that appear to be from Asia.
In 2019 the estimated population of China was 1,420,062,022. India was 1,368,737,513. India will soon overtake China. Both are about 20 times more populous than the UK.
One comment in the book has been translated “Lovely little town. Lots to See”.
MG is now owned by a Chinese Company and so the MG exhibits could be of interest.
There is a rich history of wood carving in China and India so visitors could be interested in the carved mirror.
The building itself and the painted staircase are very striking to any visitor. There will be a new temporary exhibition from 11th January called Mr Hemmings Hat & Other Curiosities – celebrating 100 years of Abingdon museum’s collections.
That’s quite the carving, I had an old flame, Precious, who was quite into that style.
