The Birmingham Museum of Art has one of the finest collections in the Southeast. Its collection of more than 24,000 paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, and decorative arts represents a rich panorama of cultures including American, African, Asian, European, Native American, and Pre-Columbian.
Fashioning Kimono: Art Deco and Modernism in Japan presents kimono from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition shows not only the changing role of traditional kimono designs, but also displays kimono worn by modern-minded, independent, urbanized young Japanese women of the day.
