Enjoy coffee with fellow members, then hear from Courtney Harris, assistant curator, Decorative Arts and Sculpture, Art of Europe, on the new exhibition “Tiny Treasures: The Magic of Miniatures.”

Featuring works in a surprising array of media—paintings, drawings, ceramics, precious metals and gems, and more—from the 7th century BCE to the present day, “Tiny Treasures” explores miniaturization in art and how artists and artisans play with our perception of scale. The more than 100 objects on view span a range of sizes, from just a few centimeters to over two feet, and include amulets from ancient Egypt, sculpted ivory and wood netsuke from Edo Japan, and jewelry depicting miniaturized everyday items.
