2 P.M.

Heritage Museum of Asian Art, 3500 S. Morgan St., 3rd Floor

Spend a special afternoon at the Heritage Museum of Asian Art, with exclusive access for IWA members on a day when the museum is closed to the public.

Founded in 2014, the Heritage Museum of Asian Art is the only museum in the Midwest dedicated exclusively to Asian art. Its diverse collection spans cultures and periods across Asia and includes jade, ceramics, bronzes, textiles, scholar’s objects, and classical Chinese furniture.

Our visit will begin with a guided tour of the museum’s permanent collection, offering an introduction to highlights from its galleries. We will then enjoy a special presentation of Beasts, Aviary and Ritual of Ancient China led by fellow IWA member Jun Wan, a jade scholar and expert, who will share her expertise and insights into the jade works featured in the exhibition.

This special program offers a wonderful opportunity to experience one of Chicago’s lesser-known cultural treasures in a private setting while learning from both the museum and one of our own IWA members.

  Reservations will be taken on a first come, first served basis as space is limited to 20 people.

 This event is open to IWA members only.
