The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art 5401 Bay Shore Road, Sarasota 941.358.3180 ringling.org Conversation — The Age of Bronze: Past and Present JUL 25, 10:30 AM The ability to cast tools, weapons, and works of art in bronze was so important to the development of civilization that we refer to an entire era as The Bronze Age. The Ringling is rich in resources to demonstrate the methods of casting that were developed in different cultures. Explore the processes used to create works in two temporary exhibitions — Eternal Offerings, which showcases nearly 100 Chinese bronze objects from the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Ai WeiWei’s Zodiac Heads, the monumental work inspired by the fabled fountain-clock of the Yuanming Yuan, an 18th-century imperial retreat just outside Beijing. Less formal than lecture presentations, Conversations are designed so that staff and guests can share research projects or topics of special interest.
