Asian Museum of Asmat Art Guided Tour (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Trips, Tours & Special Events -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2024

Join us for a guided tour of the current exhibition: Change: The Evolution of Asmat Art.   Art helps us reexamine the past and imagine the future. This exhibition considers how changes in Asmat society led to new art forms and the alteration of traditional practices. It looks at the current situation in Papua and questions how visual culture from Asmat may be affected in the future.

Accompanying this display is a series of drawings by Sarah Nelson. The illustrations depict animals that have historical significance for Asmat people and play an important role in their visual culture. Many of these species are currently under threat due to deforestation and other environmental issues in this region. We encourage viewers to consider their own relationships with nature as they reflect on content shared in the museum.

The Asian Museum of Asmat Art is located on the 2nd floor (room 205) of the Anderson Student Center on the St. Paul campus of the University of St. Thomas - 2115 Summit Ave. St. Paul, MN  55105.

If tour is full, please add your name to the wait list. We will notify you if space becomes available.
