The exhibition, “Past Present East West: Highlights from the Permanent Collection,” will open on Wednesday, Sept. 9, and continue through Saturday, May 14.  There will be an opening reception at the museum on Friday, Sept. 11, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. that will coincide with the opening reception for the exhibition “Dusk to Dusk: Unsettled, Unraveled, Unreal” in the neighboring De Pree Art Center and Gallery.

The public is invited to both the exhibition and reception.  Admission is free.

“Past Present East West: Highlights from the Permanent Collection” is evenly split between art from Europe and the Americas and art from Asia. The objects in the exhibition have been selected to demonstrate the breadth and educational value of the collection. Most of the artworks have been acquired by Hope in the last five years.
