...more unsophisticated exhibits. The Thai pavilion, for example, contains the throne, 150 years old and encrusted with gold leaf, on which the Siamese King rode his elephant into battle. When the fighting became fierce, explains a helpful sign, the King would leap onto poor Dumbo's neck, the better to spear the enemy. If Hannibal had been so athletic, Carthage might never have fallen.
