Register now for the Fall semester of the Arts of Asia lecture series: The Culture and Arts of Korea and Early Japan. This popular series will coincide with the third and final year of the training program for museum docents and is expected to sell out quickly. The first eleven lectures will cover the history of Korean culture and art chronologically, ending with an analysis of Korea’s exciting contemporary art scene. The last four lectures will examine early Japanese culture and art (with the remaining history of Japanese art to be covered in the Spring 2014 semester).

As always, the Arts of Asia lectures will feature a distinguished roster of prominent scholars and curators who will draw on the Museum’s impressive collection of Asian art to illustrate their lectures.
