Tea Ceremony
The Art Complex Museum
These ceremonies have long been a popular tradition at the museum where visitors often comment on the simplicity of a ritual based on hospitality performed in a beautiful manner.  The presentation and the Japanese garden and tea hut in which it is situated were designed for easy viewing by those who come to watch.
The tea ceremony begins as guests arrive in the garden, leaving behind the outside world.  Although decorations in the tea hut are sparse, the utensils used for tea are often exquisitely elegant.  The tea garden with its water basin, stones and lantern has been carefully designed to provide an atmosphere of contemplation.
Seating is outside and appropriate dress in recommended.  In case of inclement weather, the event will be held inside the museum.  The program is open to the public, free of charge, and is supported primarily by the Carl A. Weyerhauser Family Charitable Trusts, by gifts from friends of the museum and, in part, by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
