•Odyssey: A Journey into World Art
October 16, 1999 - Fall 2001

Juxtaposing various works of American masters with works by artists from India, China, Japan and Zaire, among others, the exhibit, which features more than 300 works, explores artistic expression in ways that transcend traditional notions of culture, place and time. Organized into three sections - people, landscapes, and the natural and spiritual worlds - the exhibit intermingles a diverse group of objects in hopes of making a new artistic connection for the visitor. The museum has refurbished its East India Marine Hall and redesigned two other major galleries for this exhibit. In addition, within the galleries, an audio tour, computer kiosks, digital video camera, and internet sites have been organized in ways to heighten the journey through the exhibition.
