Bowers Museum: Ancient Arts of China

Bowers Museum presents our permanent exhibition,  Ancient Arts of China:  A 5000 Year Legacy.  Curated by scholars of Chinese history and culture from the Shanghai Museum, this incredible collection portrays the evolution of Chinese art and culture.

Art from China and Japan make up the majority of this collection, numbering more than 6,000 objects. Recently, Bowers has been actively collecting jewelry, ornamentation and textiles from the native cultures of China. Objects from the Asian collection range in date from Neolithic to 20th Century.
