SAAM Saturday University: Sanxingdui, A Lost Civilization
September 11, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am PDT
Pay what you want
Jay Xu, currently director of San Francisco Asian Art Museum and formerly curator of Chinese art at the Seattle Art Museum, will kick off the new Saturday University Lecture Series. He will be talking about the fascinating archaeological findings in Sanxingdui, China, and also having a conversation with Mimi Gardner Gates, Director Emerita of the Seattle Art Museum, about Treasures from a Lost Civilization: Ancient Chinese Art from Sichuan, an exhibition that was held at SAM in 2001.
This program is currently offered on a pay-what-you-want basis, to keep it accessible for all. Normally, tickets are $7 for SAM members, $12 for public. Any amount you donate helps the museum continue its programming.
Saturday University lectures are organized by the Gardner Center for Asian Art and Ideas in collaboration with the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington.
