Relax the mind and learn the art of one of Japan’s most beautiful and ancient traditions, the Tea Ceremony. Due to popular demand, we will be hosting two ceremonies at 11am and 1pm. They will take place in the Collection museum Education Room, with a stunning view of the Usher Gallery.

What’s it all About?

We’re working with Buddha Maitreya of Pureland Japanese Garden in Newark to bring this truly unique experience to Lincoln. Maitreya will be performing a traditional tea ceremony and teaching the history and traditions behind the ceremony. Afterward, he will perform a short Haiku reading, and spectators will be invited to try some of the traditional antioxidant-rich Matcha tea.
