Make the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art your own.
Among the original pieces in the Murray Warner Collection of Oriental Art is a ten-panel folding screen, titled the Ten Symbols of Longevity. These symbols – turtle, mushroom, bamboo, deer, rock, water, clouds, pine tree, crane and sun – are all featured in the landscape created by an unknown court artist and intended for use in a Korean palace. Such screens of the ten symbols were often used in a ceremonial capacity for celebrations of the new year, palace banquets, and significant anniversaries.
Adopt a symbol of longevity that represents your commitment to ensuring the longevity of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.
