The Poetry of Nature in Japanese Woodblock PrintsJune 7 - August 24, 2008The poetic visions of the land and its moods expressed by Japanese woodblock artists present a personal response and celebration of the ever-changing effects of nature. They concentrate on features of the land and urban environment, which then become transformed through the different seasons, times of day, and shifting weather patterns. By exploring the eloquent compositional arrangements in relation to subject matter and Japanese poetry, this exhibition hopes to open new avenues in the appreciation of this quintessentially Japanese form of artistic expression. |

Ancient Glass from the Permanent Collectionongoing from August 2007This exhibition highlights the Museum’s finest ancient glass vessels, representing various techniques of manufacture including core-formed, free-blown and mold-made examples. A broad spectrum of time periods are also encompassed, ranging from Greek to Roman and from Byzantine to Islamic. The ancient glass collection is indebted to Gladys Davidson Weinberg, who was co-founder of the Museum, and held the titles of curator and honorary research fellow. Weinberg was a pioneer in the field of ancient glass and did much to advance the study of this fascinating aspect of ancient material culture. Moreover, she acquired many glass objects for the Museum’s antiquities collection, some of which are included in this exhibit. |
