This is a great time to see our spring exhibitions concurrently on view: Visions of the Orient: Western Women Artists 1900-1940, Meiji: Japan Rediscovered and Through the Colonial Lens: Photographs of 19th and 20th Century India, on view concurrently beginning March 31 through May 29, 2011. Each of these exhibitions speaks to the shared theme of the intersection of Asia and the West during the period of 1875 - 1925. While in dialogue with each other about the developing aesthetic and cultural appreciation that Asia and the West had for each other, these exhibitions also examine the rapid changes and modernization in Asia during this time, facilitated by the introduction of Western influences. Specifically, the experiences of Americans and Europeans in Asia during this period form a focus of the exhibitions. Today, the cultural diversity of the southern California region and its connection to Asia is rooted in the first steps of this modern globalization evidenced by the art exhibited in Visions of the Orient, Meiji and Through the Colonial Lens. This grouping of exhibitions is part of Pacific Asia Museum’s 40th Anniversary year initiative to reaffirm its mission to further intercultural understanding through the arts of Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Thank you for the info on the Pacific Asia Museum. It definitely is a place to take our students and having free entrance once a month is a big plus. Having students experience the art and exhibits of any culture is an extension of what is taught in the classroom. It also helps them make that connection with the lesson that is vital knowledge acquisition.
