Pipes

Following on from the previous exhibition dedicated to whistles, Pipes - From Habit to Art once again visited a little-known area of the decorative arts to explore the surprising variety and rich history of pipes. Over 160 pipes mostly drawn from private collections were displayed. Ranging from the common briar wood pipe to the more esoteric opium pipes and pipes used in rituals, this exhibition provided a colourful overview of pipes and pipe-smoking from around the world.
