The
Asian Art Association (AAA), a membership support group of the
Denver Art Museum, is dedicated to promoting knowledge and understanding
of Asian art and culture. It works closely with the Asian Art
Department to present programs and activities that will enable
the community to learn and enjoy, while keeping abreast of important
developments in the fascinating world of Asian art. The AAA presents
a Wednesday-at-Noon lecture series from September to May and evening
lectures throughout the year.

FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2008 6:30-7:30PM
C-Level Lecture Room
Dr.Milton Osborne,
"Tales of the Mekong: Revealing Angkor to the World"
The Mekong River system was central to the rise
of the great Angkorian Empire and this role has been evoked in
the rich treasury of writing about the temples that ranges from
the 13th century to the present day. Dr. Osborne, who is a scholar
of the Mekong, will show how this writing opens a window on the
temples themselves and the way they were viewed by people as diverse
as the Chinese envoy Zhou Daguan in the 13th century and the French
novelist Andre Malraux in the 20th.
