About
Long-term installation surveying a millennium of Chinese decorative arts across more than 100 objects in jade, porcelain, lacquer, bamboo, silk, and metalwork. The display traces shifting tastes across social strata, from royal commissions to pieces made for domestic and export markets, showing how ornament carried religious, ritual, and literary meaning alongside its craftsmanship.
