Join us and the Goldmans for their new course focusing on Indian and Southeast Asian tales of Krishna. The six-week course is intended to complement the year-long Arts of Asia focus on South Asia and Southeast Asia. A more detailed explanation of the course will be available in the next newsletter, on the Society website, and on flyers available in the Museum in January.
