Arts of Asia II
Arts of Asia II was inspired by a recent donation of Hindu deities by Doug Allen, Prof. Emeritus Philosophy Department, University of Maine. Doug’s gift inspired us to create an exhibit showcasing a wide variety of Asian holdings which are among the Hudson’s collection—holdings that are not particularly strong for this region of the world.
The exhibit showcases Hindu sacred sculptures, shadow puppets from Indonesia, armor and weapons from Korea and Japan, musical instruments from Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia and Hudson holdings and loan collections from China.
