A look inside the Spencer's "Empire of Things"
The Spencer Museum of Art's new permanent exhibit, “Empire of Things,” explores the concept of collecting through an opulent gathering of art objects ranging from 2,000 B.C. to the modern era, some of which the museum has never before displayed. The exhibit is the latest step of Project Redefine, the Spencer's ongoing effort to reinstall its permanent galleries in new, more theme-inspired ways.
This portion of the "Empire of Things" exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art includes a grouping of furniture and artworks anchored by a 19th century Chinese 10-panel screen.
