Traveling exhibitions for the summer
McKissick Museum
For many of us, the summer is our busy time of the year where we
typically get more visitation. It is also the time of year where a
number of us start thinking about what traveling exhibitions we can
market, or which traveling exhibitions are available to rent for the
upcoming fiscal year.
If you have some traveling exhibitions that you would like to market,
please send a post here and it will be shared with the group. Be sure
to provide links and contact information as well! If you are looking
for a traveling exhibition to host, please feel free to post the types
of exhibitions you are looking for and we can be sure to find
something for you!
Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

We are currently prepping to send part of our Japanese Woodblock Print
collection on tour with Smith Kramer Traveling Exhibitions:
The Floating World:
Ukiyo-E Prints from the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art
This exhibition of fifty-three Edo period prints reveals for the first
time an intimate history of Japanese print collecting in the South in
the early 20th century. With the help of internationally known ukiyo-
e print expert Frederick Gookin, LRMA founder Wallace B. Rogers
created a superb collection in just under five years in the 1920s.
Gookin’s expertise and Rogers’s funding yielded a collection rich in
the works of Hiroshige, and expansive enough to include Hokusai,
Utagawa, and other important printmakers. These outstanding prints
were stored in albums for much of the 20th century, and have rarely
been exhibited outside of Mississippi.
The exhibition encompasses works from the entirety of the Edo period
and almost all of the subjects of Edo period ukiyo-e: beautiful women,
actors and the theater, landscapes, narrative scenes, and decorative
themes. This little-known collector and collection are explored in
the accompanying catalogue essay by Hans Bjarne Thomsen of the
University of Zurich, using primary resources, including an extensive
cache of personal letters from Frederick Gookin in the LRMA Archives.
