Decided to post links to the exhibitions on view during our trip, and what I’m interested on seeing as a sideline to our class.
“The 2015 centennial of the Department of Asian Art offers an ideal opportunity to explore the history of the Museum’s collection of Japanese art. Showcasing more than two hundred masterworks of every medium, this exhibition tells the story of how the Museum built its comprehensive collection of Japanese art beginning in the early 1880s, when it owned just a small, eclectic array of Japanese decorative arts.”
“Discovering Japanese Art” will be on view in Galleries 223-232. We will be at the Met on Wednesday, 6/24.
