Teachers should take advantage of this guided preview of the important exhibition at the IMA:
Featuring a full range of objects in use at the imperial court of the Ming dynasty, this exhibition is being organized by the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco in association with the Palace Museum, Beijing; the Nanjing Municipal Museum; and the Shanghai Museum. It is the first major exhibition to focus solely on the court arts of the Ming dynasty. Some of the objects in the exhibition are from newly excavated tombs of individuals related to the Ming court and have never been shown before outside of China. The exhibition is comprised of more than 200 items that include paintings; gold and jade; textiles; jewelry; architectural and funereal objects; carvings and lacquer pieces; porcelains; and enamel and metal work. After opening at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the IMA will be the first of two venues to host this exhibition.
