Currently on display in the Rubin Gallery is “Pax Tokugawa: The Japanese Collections of OUMA,” an exhibition of Japanese art in the museum’s permanent collection with a focus on art of the Edo period of 1603-1867, considered a time of growth, peace, and stability under the last traditional shogunate founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the Skylight Gallery, OUMA Collects 2020/2021: Selections from the Permanent Collection is a showcase of unique works in the museum’s permanent collection, including Shanequa Gay’s “La Pietà” and a new print acquisition by Romare Bearden to complement a growing number of mid-century and contemporary works of art by African American artists.
