Two for the Price of One

Through Sunday, Feb. 10, you can see two exhibitions for the price of one. Rising Dragon: Ancient Treasures from China and American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh are two beautiful exhibitions of rarely seen objects.

Rising Dragon features many of the Museum's acquisitions of Chinese art over the past 20 years that have never been on view before. The rare and powerful beauty of these works of art is astonishing. You can enjoy fascinating stories of objects associated with the after world, learn about the importance of dragons and appreciate the delicate beauty of Chinese lacquer in this one-of-a-kind exhibition of our world-famous Chinese collection. This exhibition closes Feb. 10.

American Horizons is a retrospective of photographer Art Sinsabugh. His photographs examined the transformation of the American landscape from farmland to metropolitan with intriguing technique and subtlety. You will definitely want to linger at each photograph to take in all the details Sinsabaugh so delicately captured in his sweeping vistas.

Be sure to come by this weekend to enjoy these two exhbitions. American Horizons continues through April 6.
