| Fashioning Kimono premieres at the Philadelphia Museum of Art -- April 26 |
| Sunday, December 23, 2007 |
 |
Soon to launch, Fashioning Kimono: Art Deco and Modernism in Japan, highlights kimono of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 97 kimono in this exhibition portray two important facets: they represent one of the most dynamic periods in the history of Japan's national costume, and they also depict the last historical era of the "living kimono"-when kimono was being worn by the large majority of the populace. But the kimono never lost its appeal; it remained the dominant dress form from the early 20th century until the 1940's, as it took on, little by little, a more formal meaning. In the minds of the Japanese at this time, the kimono symbolized Japan before the war. The exhibition includes formal, semi-formal, and casual kimono, haori jackets, and undergarments worn by men, women, and children. The kimono are drawn from the Montgomery Collection in Lugano, Switzerland, and are featured along with a selection of period photographs on loan from the International Hokusai Research Centre in Milan. |

Imperial Mughal Albums premieres at the Sackler Gallery Washington, DC -- May 3 |
| Saturday, December 22, 2007 |
To open in May: Muraqqa': Imperial Mughal Albums from the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, an exhibition of 86 superb Mughal-dynasty album folios, (pages) is drawn from one of the finest and most respected collections of its kind in the world—the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin, Ireland. The albums made in the years 1600–1657 for the emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan, encompass some of the most remarkable of all historical depictions of individuals and the world around them. The Mughal dynasty ruled India for more than three centuries, but the period of greatest artistic production for individual paintings was that of these two great emperors. The albums of paintings and calligraphy (called muraqqa’ in Persian) that they assembled now serve as a window to understanding the history and culture of this pivotal period of Indian history.
