Explore Asian Art up close and personal with this FREE EXHIBIT of items from the Lentz collection! Formerly hosted at the Hewitt Place of the Great Plains Museum, Donald and Velma Lentz established the collection to introduce UNL students to all aspects of Asian culture and modes of thought. After closing in 2010, portions of the collection will be on display for limited time only at the Kawasaki Reading Room. Share opening reception with Janet Price, Collection Manager on Friday, January 26, 2018, from 5PM-6:30PM.
