   We first met Rhiannon when she was at the Clark Center. She gave our September 2016 lecture on Visualizing War in Modern Japan: Highlights from the Lowenhaupt Collection at Saint Louis Art Museum where she was Asian Arts Curator. Since 2017 she has been Curator for Asian art at the Center for Asian Art, Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida.John Ringling was an avid art collector. He built a 21-gallery museum modeled on the Uffizi Gallery in Florence that opened in 1931. Ringling website: www.ringling.org - Florida Weekly, May 28, 2020. In 2016, the 25,000-square-foot Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art opened and includes galleries dedicated to rotating installations of The Ringling’s Asian art holdings, a 125-seat lecture hall, an object and print study room, and open storage spaces to increase public access to the collections. As a complement to the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art, a Japanese tea house (chashitsu) was designed and built in the Bayfront Gardens. The Ringling Tea House was designed to marry the traditional tea house with local architectural heritage.
