The Freer and Sackler galleries boast one of the finest museum collections of Chinese art outside of China, with over ten thousand objects dating from Neolithic times (ca. 7000–ca. 2000 B.C.E.) to the present.

For historical reasons, many great Chinese artworks are scattered in various parts of the world. For most of us, we would not always have the luxury to travel to museums in Beijing or Taipei or Tokyo or London or New York to view these artworks. Even if you do make it to one of these places, you can only see a very tiny amount of artworks that are currently on display. Although viewing a digital image is not the same as viewing the actual artwork, it does give us art-lovers a lot of convenience and satisfaction.
China Online Museum primarily focuses on Chinese bronzes, calligraphy, painting, ceramics, jade and carving. For each of these categories, I try to pick the most representative works of art to form the virtual galleries. The artworks are chosen from many famous museums and public auctions. I hope you will find a few of them that truly resonate with your heart.
