The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art has entered a multiyear partnership with the Tsinghua University Art Museum in Beijing, China.
The partnership will begin in September with the exhibition “Americans Abroad: Landscape and Artistic Exchange, 1800-1920,” which will open at Tsinghua University. The exhibition will feature 50 European and American paintings drawn from the permanent collection of the Eskenazi Museum of Art, according to an IU press release.
The partnership between IU and Tsinghua was established after the Eskenazi director, David Brenneman, visited Tsinghua in 2017.
This inaugural project is possible due to a grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
Eskenazi and Tsinghua partnership will features collaborations in exhibitions, program and staff and student exchanges.
