Event Description
This multicultural exhibition features a selection of luxury arts from the Museum’s diverse collections. Like painting and sculpture,these beautiful objects played an important aesthetic role as they communicated social, political, religious and cultural information about the patron. The realm of the decorative arts is a vast one, involving objects of every shape and material imaginable. By bringing together objects from China, Europe, India, Japan and the United States from the Early Modern period to around 1900, this show explores a wide variety of cultural aesthetic preferences and societal practices in relation to The Fine Art of Living. Ongoing from May 2008.
