Cleveland Museum of Art examines ‘The Tudors’

“The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England” opens Sunday at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The first exhibition in the United States to trace the transformation of the arts in Tudor England, the exhibition offers a selection of objects from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s rich holdings with major loans from European and American collections as well as works from the Cleveland Museum of Art that bring the drama of the age to life.

The exhibition captures the breathtaking scope of the finest artistic production of the age, from intricately wrought armor, rare furnishings and glittering tapestries woven with gold to portraits of sumptuously attired courtiers and illuminated manuscripts.

Organized by the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in collaboration with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the exhibition brings together more than 90 loans from illustrious institutions including the British Royal Collection, Rijksmuseum, Folger Shakespeare Library, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Museum of Denmark, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, Ghent.

“The Tudors” will be on display through May 14 at the museum, 11150 East Blvd., Cleveland. Timed entry tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for senior citizens, students and children ages 6 to 17. CMA members and children ages 5 and younger are admitted free.

Tickets are available online at clevelandart.org and by calling 216-421-7350.
