Every Wednesday for five weeks, Curator Meher McArthur will give a a fifteen-minute lunchtime talk, focusing on a piece of Asian art that is currently on view in the Asian Art Treasures exhibition at the Williamson Gallery. Every work in the exhibition is part of the College’s impressive collection of Asian art, which includes paintings and prints as well as ceramics, metalwork and lacquer wares.
