Gorky's sound will feel familiar to those versed in the acoustic folk-inspired pop ballads of the late '60s and early '70s, with only a slight instrumental and tonal twist betraying the band's Welsh origin.

I must admit that as I sat down late on a Thursday night with a ratty Coop bag full of such videos for this story, I couldn't help but emit a little groan.

The holdings contain one of the best jade collections in the country, as well an extensive representation of early Chinese bronzes (most notably a series of three ritual bells from the late Chou dynasty). Also particularly strong are the ancient Greek vases, with exquisite exa.m.ples of both red-figure and black-figure techniques. Not to be missed: the beautifully preserved and delicately painted Japanese hand-scroll depicting "The Tale of the Rat." Currently on display: "Letters in Gold: Ottoman Calligraphy from the Sakip...
