Grayson Perry, Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman

Grayson Perry has opened an exhibition in the British museum called Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman. He has been looking through the british museums collection for objects that might not be the most valuable or the oldest, but the objects that he likes the most. His new work is all about Alan Measles, a tedy bear from his childhood who was the god or king in his imaginary world. Another aspect to his work is that all the people coming to the exhibition are making a pilgrimage to the british museum.
This is a almost surrealist drawing by Grayson perry of people making a pilgrimage to the British museum.
This is probably the most famous of Grayson Perry's many pots, which are all very beautiful shapes with contemporary decorations.
This is the center-piece of the exhibition ,it's a ship made out of iron it has a flint axe on a plinth thats over 250,000 years old.
