Foghorn Leghorn, Tayebat Museum, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Incongruous as it may seem in a museum about the history and heritage of this country, among the traditional art and artefacts there are also many rooms of ‘general heritage’ – tea pots and ties, kids’ bikes and tourist t-shirts, historic food packaging and scientific equipment. And yes, cartoon characters and toys – all things joyous and mirthful, creative and inspirational. I did laugh as I found a huge stuffed Foghorn Leghorn toy here in the museum gallery, and there’s nothing wrong with laughter in the museum, I say.
