| "Samurai" Opens May 12 | |  Samurai were as artistic and philosophical as they were dangerous. The epic tale of one of the greatest warrior cultures in history, and how it shaped an entire nation, is the theme of an extraordinary new exhibition opening May 12 at the Frazier History Museum. This exclusive Frazier exhibition will feature national treasure-level artifacts from collections in Japan and around the world and presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of the finest artifacts relating to the legacy left by this great warrior culture. Don't miss this chance to see centuries-old armor made of iron, silk and gilded metal. The exhibition also showcases personal items, such as painted scrolls and screens; these artifacts reveal a more intimate side of Samurai culture and help expose the role of women in Samurai society.
Check out a photo gallery with a sampling of the exhibition's artifacts here. |
