Masterpieces of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting

Description

The Pride of Hong Kong: Three Preeminent Collections of Ancient Paintings and Calligraphies exhibition brings together three major collections of the city’s Chinese calligraphy and painting — Chih Lo Lou, Xubaizhai, and Bei Shan Tang—showcasing a selection of their prized possessions spanning from the Tang Dynasty (618–907) to the Qing dynasty (1644–1911).
