About the event
Learn about Asian Art in the Heritage Museum of Asian Art with a guided hour-long tour around the gallery. Museum-trained interns and volunteers will give a talk on some artworks. Each word is packed with fascinating insights, information, and stories. During this participatory experience, you'll connect with works from across the collection and get a close look at highlighting artworks. Visitors of all ages are welcome.
This 3rd Friday the HMAA is thrilled to host an interactive installation and performance by our Artist in Residence Irene Hsiao. If the Sky Could Dream series focuses on the Chinese dragon as a powerful being that fosters harmony. This creature is emblematic of China as well as a mythological being for many Asian and Western cultures and thus evokes a sense of mysticism, and intrigue in many communities. Representing the Chinese Dragon as a water deity, the installation series will feature images and projections of weather and local bodies of water in Chicago.
Please note tours may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
