 Nature Unbound: Flora and Fauna in
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean ArtAsian Galleries
Through October 18, 2010
This installation of works drawn from the Museum's collections, including paintings, prints, ceramics, and lacquers, examines the various modes of representing nature in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art: nature studies based on close observation; symbolic representations intended to convey auspicious messages; ornamental motifs; and combinations of these approaches. The variety of perspectives embodied in these works and their skillful execution make for a stunning installation affording new insights into Asian art.

Be Late. Be Cool. Summer at the Art Museum. |
| Refreshing
our Collections Galleries | |
This summer the Museum is undertaking a substantial refreshing of our galleries of nineteenth-century European art. Among the exciting changes are the inclusion of new acquisitions and works of art long in storage, and the greater incorporation of photography, prints, and drawings, along with masterworks in painting and sculpture, to create a greater sense of "the period eye"--a broader understanding of the arts, culture, and social history of the time. |
 Continuing the fresh approach applied to the Medieval, Byzantine, and Islamic galleries that re-opened in March, each work of art will be accompanied by fresh interpretation to help newcomers and veteran visitors find new meanings. Gallery work will cause some inconvenience during the month of August, but bear with us--the Galleries reopen September 4!

 Like the nineteenth-century European galleries, a fresh look and new merchandise range are coming to the Museum Store in September.
While you're waiting, experience Momiji. Collected all around the world, these wooden dolls are hand painted, each with its own sweet character invoking friendship and kindness. Ours come in individual boxes, with accessories for boys and girls of any age to enjoy.
