The Heart of Zen
Opening Tomorrow

On view for only six weeks, The Heart of Zen is the long-awaited American debut of two famed but rarely exhibited treasures from a Zen temple.

These two iconic paintings are attributed to Muqi, a 13th-century Chinese monk. On the opening day of The Heart of Zen, the curator of Chinese painting from the Kyoto National Museum will provide a glimpse into the world of this Southern Song dynasty painter and explore his unprecedented influence on Japanese art.
