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. Explore the history and significance of these beloved ink paintings, their place in temple life, and their eventual elevation as classic examples of Zen art. Reserve tickets...

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.
