Thursday Thoughts – Shaun Tan and the Museum of Failures
A short trip this summer to Dunkers in Helsingborg – for Shaun Tan, our beloved, Australian illustrator of children’s books. On arrival, we found that the Museum of Failures also had an exhibition there. My (and my children’s) greatest admiration is his book and movie on ”The Lost Thing”.
