Question
I have a large collection of ivory carvings ranging from the mundane to the exceptional. All were legally purchased and in the United States, except one antique purchased in Hong Kong in the 1970"s.
Are there any exhibits of such art on display in the U.S.?
Not that I know of. I know that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has a permanent display of Netsuke there -- ivory and other traditional materials carved into belt slides worn on kimonos in the past.
Try searching for Carved Ivory Exhibits.
You might try exhibiting what you have.
