Chinese Collection Highlights

Featuring important examples of imperial ceramics, ancient bronzes, monumental Buddhist sculptures, and 20th-century and contemporary work, the MFA’s Chinese art collection includes objects from nearly every era of Chinese history. Of particular note is the collection of Chinese paintings, with many masterpieces from the Song and Yuan dynasties as well as the famed Thirteen Emperors scroll from the Tang dynasty (618–907), considered the oldest court painting in existence.
