The exhibits in the first wing of the
Asian Civilizations Museum are housed in a restored
neo-classical building dating back to 1910. The focus of the
first wing of the museum is on Chinese civilization and
culture. A series of thematic galleries introduce the
visitors to the world of Chinese beliefs, symbolism,
connoisseurship and the Chinese scholar tradition.
Of note are superb Buddhist artifacts, imperial porcelain
and a collection of 17th century Ming-style furniture. Rare
and fascinating objects from as far back as the Neolithic
Period (5000 - 1600 BC) can also be viewed.
The next wing of the Museum, located at the Empress Place
Building, to be completed in the second half of 2002, will
give an insight into the cultural heritage of India,
Southeast Asia and the Islamic World.
