Avatars of the Samurai SpiritApril 27-October 6, 2024
The Morikami Museum celebrates the wisdom and strength of all children in an extraordinary display of traditional dolls (ningyō) depicting Japan’s rich samurai culture, inspired by Kodomo no Hi, or Children’s Day. This popular festival was originally known as, Tango no Sekku (First Day of the Horse), and held on the 5th day of the 5th month. Noted for the elaborate display of dolls depicting renowned warriors drawn from Japan’s martial past, in 1948 the Japanese government rededicated the May holiday to all children – boys and girls – as Kodomo no Hi.

Exhibit - Sorolla and the SeaNovember 23, 2024 – March 16, 2025
Painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida grew up on the Valencian coast of Spain studying the Mediterranean light, landscape, and modern life. The people of Spain revered Sorolla as the nation's last great traditional painter, and French Impressionist Claude Monet hailed the artist as a "master of light." Combining precision with unmixed colors and free brushwork, Sorolla’s work impressively balances the Spanish tradition of Realism with the Modernist trends of the 20th century. Sorolla and the Sea features approximately 40 works, on loan from The Hispanic Society of America Museum & Library for the first time in over 100 years.

AmericanPermanent Collection
The Museum’s collection of American paintings, sculpture, and works on paper contains approximately 1,000 works of art dating from the 18th century to 1960. The institution’s founder, Ralph Norton, began by collecting American art, and his holdings still form the core of his Museum’s collection today. Norton was passionate about the art of his time – the first half of the 20th century – so the collection is particularly strong in that area. He acquired major oil paintings by George Bellows, Charles Demuth, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Motherwell, and Charles Sheeler; sculptures by Paul Manship, Theodore Roszak, and William Zorach; and watercolors by Charles Burchfield, Winslow Homer, and John Marin, among many others.

ChinesePermanent Collection
The Museum's collection of Chinese art, spanning 5,000 years, has grown from the approximately 130 works given by founder Ralph Norton to more than 700 objects. His acquisitions form two outstanding bookends to the Chinese Collection: ancient jade and bronze, and imperial jade and hardstone carvings dating from the Qing dynasty (1644-1912 ) to the Republic period (1912- 1949). A seminal early work from Norton’s gifts includes a 3,200 year-old cast bronze wine ewer (gong) in the form of a dragon, which is a composite of many powerful creatures – tiger, bear, elephant, bird, and antelope. A seminal late work in the collection is an alms bowl with seven buddhas, commissioned in 1777 by the Qianlong Emperor who reigned from 1736 until 1795.

Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art NouveauJanuary 16 - April 14, 2024
Amidst the cobblestone streets and gas-lit boulevards of turn-of-the-century Paris, a renaissance of creativity produced the Art Nouveau movement. Characterized by sinuous lines, organic forms, and intricate designs, this movement in design and art found its virtuoso interpreter in Alphonse Mucha, whose work is featured in the exhibition Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau. The exhibition is not only a tribute to Mucha’s genius, but also the milieu that nurtured his blossoming as an artist. At the close of the 19th century Paris was undergoing a major transformation. As the Belle Époque waned, a palpable sense of anticipation hung in the air, heralding a new era of thought and expression. The artistic landscape was ripe for innovation, and it was within this fertile environment that Art Nouveau flourished, reflecting the zeitgeist of a society seeking to break free from convention. Mucha, a young artist of modest means, but full of ambition, found himself in the midst of the City’s transformation. Born in Moravia, Mucha arrived in the French capital seeking to make his mark. His breakthrough came serendipitously when he was commissioned to create a poster for the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt. The resulting masterpiece, an ethereal woman entwined in tendrils of hair and floral motifs, which seemed to many to be a perfect expression of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, catapulted Mucha to fame.
