Overview

In this talk, Douglas Wagner, Curatorial Associate in the Asian Art Department, will highlight a selection of newly acquired artworks, discussing their history and significance, and hinting at when museum visitors will see them for the first time.

Since the Denver Art Museum’s permanent galleries of Asian Art closed for renovation in 2017, the museum’s Asian art collection has grown by more than 2,000 pieces, largely through donations from museum supporters.
