Asian Bronze - 4000 Years of Beauty
At the Asian Pavilion, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
* meetup at the museum at 11.15.
Our first Special Event of the season will be with a touch of Asia.
A guided tour of the newly opened exhibition at the Asian Pavilion of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, followed by a seminar in collaboration with The Royal Asian Art Society of the Netherlands at the Atrium of the Rijksmuseum.
This is a unique opportunity to learn all about the beauty of Asian Bronze Art - from statues of gods to objects for both rituals and everyday use. No fewer than 75 masterpieces will be on display, many of these top pieces will be visiting the Netherlands for the first time ever. These exceptional loans include objects of the Indus Valley culture of India and Pakistan, the famous Buddha from Grahi in Thailand, the great bronze bell found at Kalasan in Central Java, and two 'magic' mirrors commissioned from the artist Yamamoto Akihisa, Kyoto, Japan.
Deadline for signing-up is Tuesday, 20th August 24.
The programme is as follows:
It is possible to attend only the guided tour or to attend both tour & seminar.
The cost for the guided tour is the normal fee [see below], while there's a charge of EUR 5.00 for the highly interesting seminar. The KVVAK [Royal Asian Arts Society of the Netherlands] have most kindly allowed us [non-KVVAK-members] to participate in the seminar.
The lunch is not included.
The Café at the Rijksmuseum might be a convenient place to lunch should you decide to join the seminar.
If you have never visited the Asian Pavilion this is your chance not only to see the exhibition, but to view and surely admire the incredible collection of Asian art in its many facets. A large part of the objects is owned by the Royal Asian Art Society of the Netherlands and is on permanent loan to the Rijksmuseum.
We have 15 places available.
