Lost at Sea: Art Recovered from Shipwrecks

January-March 7th-22nd, 2020

Tue.–Sun. through March 22

Asian Art Museum (200 Larkin St.)

From 12th-century stone reliefs discovered in the Arabian Sea to bowls and jars discovered in the South China Sea, these shipwrecked artworks were excavated in the 1990s by marine archaeologists, sold at auction, purchased by individual collectors, and then donated to the museum. The exhibition asks questions how artworks enter museum collections, what the provenance of an object reveals, and more. $25, 415-581-3500, asianart.org
