Dorrance Galleries Yoshitoshi: Spirit and Spectacle April 16 August 18, 2019 April 12 14 Discover the brilliant colors and spirited lines of Yoshitoshi, the last great master of the traditional Japanese woodblock print. Ever inventive in his art, he responded to Japan s rapid modernization of the late 1800s with greater expressiveness than seen before.

Creating a Legacy Sonia Triester Sonia and her late husband, Stan, enjoyed the museum for decades. As Associate members for fifty years, they were deeply committed, especially to K 12 educational programs. When Stan passed away, Sonia and her family decided to honor their connection to the museum with an educationfocused special gift to the It Starts Here campaign. Sonia has also joined the Fiske Kimball Society by making a provision in her estate plans. Together, this support makes a measurable difference for the museum and the thousands of children who visit each year. To learn how you can leave your own legacy at the museum, contact Tara Prakash, Planned Giving Officer, at tara.prakash@philamuseum.org or 215-684-7351.
