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.
