Engaged: Rings from around the World at the Dayton Art Institute
Throughout human history, people have loved putting things on their fingers. Often made with precious materials, they serve a wide range of purposes, from enhancing one’s appearance and indicating social status to establishing relationships and providing protection.
Drawn from the collection of more than 180 rings gathered by one of the DAI’s founders, Brainerd Thresher, this exhibition presents a wide range of rings from places as different as Egypt and Thailand and spanning thousands of years, reflecting humans’ endless fascination with these small circles.
Plan your visit and confirm museum hours on the DAI website.
