High Tea: Glorious Manifestations East and West
The Norton Museum of Art presents an exhibition of objects which illustrate important events in tea culture.
Spanning a period of 1,200 years from the ninth to early 20th century, and featuring more than 100 rare objects, this will be the first exhibition to explore the art of tea among the elite in eight key cultures worldwide: China, Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, England and the United States. Objects in the exhibition illustrate important events in each culture as well as major cross-cultural interactions that created new milestones in tea culture.
