		•The History of Japanese Art Photography, 1854-2000 May 25 - July 20, 2003
			This exhibit is the first in the West to chronicle JapanŐs extraordinary contribution to the history of photography.

		•The Sensuous and the Sacred: Chola Bronzes from South India July 6 - September 14, 2003
			South Indian bronzes, most notably bronzes produced under the reign of the Chola dynasty between the 9th and 13th centuries, are famed for their subtlety of modeling and fluent outline of form. Drawn from important collections of temple bronzes in the United States and Europe, this exhibit of approximately 60 South Indian sculptures presents the first major survey of the art of Chola bronzes. Organized in three thematic sections, the exhibit focuses on the iconography of the Hindu gods Shiva and Vishnu, along with examples of Buddhist bronzes. While most of the works are from the Chola period, a few later bronze pieces are included to expand the iconographic scheme and place the Chola work in a larger context of South Indian bronze sculpture. Photomurals of temples, as well as bronze statuary fully draped, ornamented, and ready for processional rituals, recreate the context in which these religious icons are seen and worshiped in South Indian temples today.
