Chosen entirely from the storerooms of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exhibition showcased some of the museum’s finest collections, which had been in storage awaiting the construction and installation of the new galleries of Far Eastern Art. Sixty-four objects, ranging from the Shang (ca. 1600–1100 BCE) to the Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, were selected to represent the diversity and supreme quality of artwork in each period.
