Hey Veron, it ain’t a part-time job. You dun get paid for being a MV. The last I heard, we are the last till 2007 or 8. but you can still drop me a mail and ‘ill fill ya in… but for now, i can only offer to guide you around ACM. View all comments by Sharon

Hi Sharon! Thanks for that juicy nugget of history on the white dragon robe. I bet none of us here knew it until you came along!

You have a great part time job. May I know if the museum needs more volunteers? I would love to help out! View all comments by Veron

hi there, I stumble upon your site and I love what you did! I’m a weekend volunteer museum guide with ACM, since you have got so much interest, I tot I’l just share, the white dragon robe you saw at ACM- was meant for the Autumn/Winter Season. Sometimes, it was worn during mourning/funeral too. ;) View all comments by Sharon

Yeah that was a real problem. All my pictures had to be taken without flash too. Most of them turned out blurry, especially those from the Mobile Homes exhibition. View all comments by Veron

You took those pictures w/o flash? And yet it looks so clear…the place was pretty dark the other dae I went. Our pics taken w/o flash couldn’t really be seen clearly tho. View all comments by Gypsyangelz

py, actually the museum allowed photography. The curator or whoever said photography’s fine as long as there isn’t flash… presumably to protect the artefacts.

I do make it a point to find out a museum’s policy on cameras before I make a trip down. View all comments by Veron

I think I like to ask this question, could you share with me how you manage to take those photos despite the museum’s security watching? Lend me your trade secrets? View all comments by py

I’m not too sure about whether it came from the book or the movie… too lazy to read my Lord of the Rings trilogy boxset! I do think it came from the book though. Don’t recall hearing or seeing that quote in the movie.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those that wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be (the) blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

You know, regarding the “All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost.� quote, I do believe that it’s something that came out of the movie rather than the book. Lest I’m mistaken… View all comments by Ivan Chew
