Scavenger Hunt

We welcome you to participate in a scavenger hunt, and encourage you to take a closer look at the detailed and extremely labor-intensive works featured in our current exhibition, Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West. Can you locate all the images on the scavenger hunt card in Raqib Shaw's paintings on display in the Hostetter Gallery?

Pick up your scavenger hunt card outside of the gallery, located on the second floor of the New Wing. Once you find the images featured on the front of this card, post the titles and photos of the paintings and tag us on social media. Feel free to keep your card as a souvenir of your time spent exploring the exhibition.  

Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West is organized by the Frist Art Museum, Nashville, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, with guest curator Dr. Zehra Jumabhoy.

Additional Venues: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston: June 9 – September 2, 2024 and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens: November 16, 2024 – March 3, 2025
