Supporter Event

Join us for a tour of the East Asian art galleries, which recently reopened with an installation dedicated to the struggles and achievements of women of late imperial China and beyond. The works on view explore moral and physical perceptions of women, including the likening of their bodies to flowers, and the important role women played in textile production.

Led by:
Sarah Laursen, Alan J. Dworsky Associate Curator of Chinese Art
Yuhua Ding, Gregory and Maria Henderson Curatorial Fellow in East Asian Art
