Chinese Ceramics from the Changsha Kilns

Long-term, closed in July 2015

The Museum’s new permanent exhibit, Chinese Ceramics from the Changsha Kilns: Reflections of Tang Dynasty Openness and Tolerance provides an overview of the ceramics produced by families at the Changsha Kilns during the Tang Dynasty more than one thousand years ago.  The exhibit puts Tang ceramics into their historical, geographic, and cultural context. The Tang Dynasty was a time of peace, prosperity, and acceptance in China, during which Changsha ceramics and other goods were traded to reach as far away as western Asia and Africa. The exhibit features more than 100 spectacular ceramic objects from the Lam Collection.
