Art Across Cultures

Bringing us together

Last month, the Office of Visitor Services and Volunteer Management (OVS), hosted volunteer docent Dr. Yuan Liu for a virtual program for volunteers across the Smithsonian. During the program, we observed and compared artworks from diverse cultures across Asia. If you were unable to join us for the program (or want to see it again), you can watch the recording below!
