Sponsors and donors enjoyed an early look at the "Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World” exhibition before its May 31 opening. The exhibition, currently open at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art (CCMA) at College of DuPage’s McAninch Arts Center (MAC), brings 17th-century Japan to life through meticulously crafted recreations, immersive experiences, hands-on activities and historical exhibits.
