Japanese and Korean Art Reinstallation

This long-awaited reopening of the Asian art galleries will feature Japanese and Korean art from the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields' impressive permanent collection. Highlights include paintings, ceramics, lacquerware, and metalwork, and with this refreshed gallery space comes new works on view for the first time. Exciting new acquisitions include a beautiful pair of folding screens by Mochizuki Gyokusen titled Geese and Reeds in Snow; an engaging sculptural piece titled Composite Memories by Japan's foremost female ceramicist, Kishi Eiko; a marvelous 13th-century celadon bowl from Korea's Goryeo Dynasty (935-1392); and the amazing fittings for a pair of long and short samurai swords. 

This day-long opening celebration is included with general admission and free for members. Visitors will enjoy learning at docent stations, Sumi-e painting workshops, and Mochi donuts.
