China is a vast country with a long, continuous history and rich
artistic heritage. The China Gallery features bronzes from ancient
tombs, elegant furniture from private homes, and sumptuous silk
robes and porcelains from imperial palaces. Spanning over five
thousand years, the works on display range from the Neolithic
period to the present. They include a Tang-dynasty tomb figure
of a camel and a lacquer table screen inlaid with mother-of-pearl
and gold. Examples of Chinese art are also shown in the Buddhist
Art Gallery, the Scholar’s Tradition Gallery, and the Sze
Hong Gallery.
