Dear Art Educators,

Those of you who teach Asian Art (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) will want
to take a look at this online interactive multimedia presentation from
The Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Arts' permanent collection, and explores several cross-cultural Asian

extended commentary, and the option to make personal selections and
email them to others
