From Asia to the World: Ancient to Contemporary Art celebrates more than one hundred years of collecting and exhibiting Asian art at the Toledo Museum of Art, featuring superb examples from the ancient period to the present. Sculptures of Buddhist and Hindu deities embody sophisticated ideas and philosophies, and blue-and white-porcelain, celadon, and enamel ceramics from China, Korea, and Japan highlight trade between Asia, Latin America, and Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Works by contemporary artists engage these histories as well as current political and social conditions.
Please note: For the safety of the artwork, backpacks are not allowed in any of TMA’s galleries including this exhibition. You may be also asked to check large bags. For the best visit experience, TMA suggests all visitors check bags and coats upon arrival in Herrick Lobby.
