Susie Cox, the Gallery's full-time teacher who is working in Singapore for a couple of months reports that the staff of the Asian Civilizations Museum also moved office this week.

One extra thing that Mr Shifter had to worry about there was each employee's personal shrine. As Susie said: 'With so many different religions being practised here, ensuring the right shrine goes in the right cubicle must be a real headache for the moving guys.'
