August 2006: Summertime – Zurich – Museum Rietberg

A prodigious gathering of art from India, China, Africa, Japan, and Southeast Asia is displayed in the neoclassical Villa Wesendonck, once home to Richard Wagner (it was for the lady of the house that he wrote his Wesendonck Songs). The rich collection ranges from Cambodian Khmer sculptures and jade Chinese tomb art to Japanese Noh masks and Tibetan bronzes.
