Yao Ceremonial Artifacts Collection
An exhibit of the Yao Collection is now on view at the Multicultural Center Gallery in Baker Center. The Opening Reception will take place during Ohio University’s International Week, on Thursday, May 14th, from 5 to 7pm.
A gift from Frederick Harris (Hon. PhD, 1997) and collecting partners Robert Fallon (BA, 1969), and Ms. Nguyen Thi Diu, this one-of-a-kind cultural record supports the scholarly research and teaching needs of various programs and departments campus-wide. With approximately 2000 pieces of ceremonial and temple art from the north of Viet Nam, this collection is likely the largest of it’s kind.
Later in 2009, a significant portion of the collection will be available online via ARTstor, an online image database. Find a link to ARTstor in Alice, find the Yao page with an informative slide show here.
