Asian Textiles: Treasures of Color and Pattern

Experience the East Asian dress and textile collection at the Cincinnati Art Museum through an illustrated lecture by Cynthia Amneus, curator of Fashion Arts and Textiles. Focusing on a Chinese Dragon Robe, Amneus will explore both the varied forms of dress and the symbolic motifs woven into and embroidered on their surfaces. Vibrant with imagery and color, these textiles tell a rich story side by side with interesting histories of the evolution of cross-cultural exchange.
