What exactly is a "Dango"? 🤔

Jun Kaneko (Japanese-American, b. 1942) has been creating Dangos (meaning 'dumpling' in Japanese) for over 40 years. From tiny to massive, each of these ceramic sculptures is unique. Discover Dangos and more as part of the TMA's current exhibit, Jun Kaneko: Silence Before Sound. 🖼️

Discover timeless artistry at the Museum Store at the Tampa Museum of Art. From beautifully crafted objects to one-of-a-kind artisanal gifts, the store offers treasures inspired by centuries of creativity.

Among the highlights is this exquisite replica of a classical Greek White-Ground Lekythos, attributed to the Inscription Painter and inspired by an original ceramic oil flask from Attica, Greece, dating to the Archaic period, ca. 460–450 BCE.

Every purchase from the Museum Store directly supports the exhibitions, educational initiatives, and community programs of the Tampa Museum of Art.
