Virtual Lecture Series: When the Tiger Smoked a Pipe
Exploring our Korean Art collection
Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2024 | 10 AM Online via Zoom
Often heard at the beginning of Korean legends and folktales, “When the tiger smoked a pipe” is a familiar phrase akin to “Once upon a time.” This program draws from the Asian Art Museum’s collection of Korean art to explore a layered and transformative history of artmaking. Renowned for its ceramics and textiles, Korea has also created, adapted, and refined a variety of art forms. Today, Korea is among the leaders of contemporary art production.
This one-hour virtual lecture by one of our community speaker docents is followed by a half-hour Q&A.
