September 10, 2026 - January 3, 2027

Founded in 1966, the China Institute Gallery has presented the history of Chinese art from antiquity to the present through superb and thought-provoking exhibitions. The masterworks featured in Celebrating Sixty Years of China Institute Gallery: 1966-2026 exemplify what has made the Institute’s exhibitions groundbreaking. From presentations of exquisite jades and bronze vessels, to the symbolism of old trees, to Chinese ceramics, calligraphy, and architecture—China Institute’s displays have consistently illuminated pathways to a deeper understanding of the culture of China.
