Compassion at the Michael C. Carlos Museum explores the concept of compassion across cultures, time periods, and artistic traditions. Drawing from the museum’s global collections, the exhibition considers how artists have represented empathy, care, and human connection through visual form.
Through objects spanning centuries and geographies, the exhibition highlights how compassion is expressed in different cultural contexts, from religious and spiritual traditions to contemporary interpretations. These works reveal how acts of care, protection, and shared humanity have been central themes in artistic production.
By placing diverse works in dialogue, Compassion invites viewers to reflect on how this universal value is communicated visually, offering a cross-cultural perspective on one of the most enduring human concerns.
