The Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida has announced that it will open its new Asian art wing on March 31, 2012. The Cofrin Asian Art Wing, designed by UF alumnus Kha Le-Huu, is a 26,000-square-foot addition dedicated to the art of China, Japan, Korea, India, and the Himalayas from the Neolithic period to the present. The adaptable gallery spaces in the new wing will allow for a frequently rotating permanent collection, allowing the museum to highlight many more of the 2,000 works in the Harn’s permanent collection of Asian art. As part of the opening, the Harn will also debut two, new Asian-themed gardens, designed by Hoichi Kurisu of Kurisu International, which will blend Asian garden design principles with contemporary sensibilities.
