“An Eye to the East: The Inspiration of Japan” Exhibit Opens

Through paintings, prints, photographs, carvings, ceramics and textiles, the Historical Society’s new exhibition, “An Eye to the East: The Inspiration of Japan,” looks at the influence of Japanese art and culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a special emphasis on the Cos Cob art colony.

Coinciding with the opening, the Historical Society will offer “The Curator’s Eye” tours on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 12:15 p.m. These informal, 20- to 30-minute docent-led gallery tours will focus on exhibition highlights, themes and background stories that provide a framework for better understanding the art and objects on display. Docents will also answer questions and help visitors zero in on particular points of interest. These value-added tours are included in the price of admission.

Regular admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors; admission is always free to members and children under 18 and free to all on the first Wednesday of each month. For more details, visit greenwichhistory.org.
