SUMMARY:Exhibit: A Viewing Stone
DESCRIPTION:(DC) (National Arboretum) Viewing stone lovers find inspiration in the traditional stones found and displayed in China and Japan; however\, when it comes collecting stones in this country many stones do not fit the classic traditions. These small natural objects encourage contemplation of larger landscape scenes\, objects in nature\, and abstract images. Challenge your imagination by comparing the variety of stones on view in this exhibition. \nMembers of the Potomac Viewing Stone Group\, a regional organization dedicated to stone appreciation\, will display viewing stones from their private collections. \nThis exhibit runs through September.
