Shrines and Storerooms: A Curator's Ideal Trip to Cambodia
This program is sold out.
The Asian Art Museum’s collection of artworks from the ancient Kingdom of Angkor is one of the most important in the country. It encompasses over ninety sculptures of stone and bronze, as well as ceramics and ritual objects of gold and other metals.
Forrest McGill’s 2011 trip to temples and museums in Cambodia and conversations with archaeologists both Cambodian and foreign brought forth new information and contexts for a number of these works. It also gave Dr. McGill new understanding of a particular interest of his, the post-Angkorian art of Cambodia and its connections with the arts of Thailand. The talk, part travelogue and part serious art history, will highlight the interesting results of this study trip.
Forrest McGill is Chief Curator and Wattis Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art at the Asian Art Museum.
