Rare imperial masterpieces make their U.S. debut.
The centerpiece exhibit of the museum’s anniversary, Emperors’ Treasures features nearly 150 artworks from the renowned Taipei museum and includes paintings, calligraphy, bronze vessels, ceramics, lacquer ware, jades, textiles and documents.
More than 100 pieces will make their debut in the United States; 30 are extremely rare masterpieces. Highlighting artworks that span from the Song period to the Qing dynasty, the exhibition will explore the identities of eight rulers who reigned from the early 12th through the early 20th centuries. By examining each ruler’s contribution to the arts and exploring the eras’ differing styles, subjects and craftsmanship, Emperors’ Treasures will outline how Chinese art came to develop and flourish under Han Chinese, Mongol and Manchu rulers.
