January Public Tour

(Note: We have a new installation in the Japanese galleries by curator Mai Yamaguchi, with many weather-related works. Check out “Falling Water: Expressions of Weather in Japanese Art” in G223.)

We also encourage you to share other ideas with each other for this tour, so to that end, we are sharing the Google doc link for the tour, so feel free to add to this any other ideas you have of great artworks to include!

As always, one-hour public tours meet at the Info Bar in the lobby, and please remember to record the attendance of your tours on the attendance sheet on the Guide Lounge bulletin board. Thank you!
