Tuesday, September 21, 2010

This album contains two galleries – the Gallery of Minority Peoples and the Gallery of Ming & Qing Furniture. I took them just before closing, so they are not complete and I didn’t get the labels. But at least you can get the general idea. This is one of at least six albums I’ve created [...]

Shanghai Museum: Jade Gallery

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Hopefully they will give an idea of the quality of workmanship anyway. Also, not every object here is true jade, but I didn’t have [...]

This is definitely the most thorough collection of Chinese pottery I have ever seen. This is one of four albums I’ve created for some 1250 artifacts I photographed in the museum. Photos by Gary L.

With the National Museum still closed for renovation, the Shanghai Museum is probably the greatest museum in all China, and one of the greatest in the world.

You can find them using the “Shanghai” tag on the website. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias [...]
