About this Event
Join curator Jan Stuart on a tour of ceramics and paintings from China's last dynasties, the Ming and Qing (14th to early 20th century). The imperial court and the scholar class were major patrons and consumers of these arts, which shared many symbols and styles in common.
Please meet at gallery 13 for the tour. We recommend you register in advance.
