Special Japonisme Experience at Hill-Stead Museum
Discover the beauty and history of Japanese art influence during an exclusive experience at the Hill-Stead Museum. When Japan opened its doors to the world in 1853 after years of isolation, it sparked a profound fascination with Japanese art, culture, and design among Western artists. Join Hill-Stead Executive Director and CEO Anna Swinbourne as she discusses how the museum's founders, the Pope family, fell under this cultural spell. You will learn the history behind their impressive collection of 19th-century Japonisme treasures. Following the lecture, check out the special exhibition, The Great Wave: Japonisme at Hill-Stead, and conclude your visit with a group lunch.
Tuesday, April 28 11 am-1 p.m. at Hill-Stead Museum, Farmington
