A Lasting Legacy: Chinese Jades from New York Collections
from 25 Jul 2026 at Metropolitan Museum of Art
· New York City
A Lasting Legacy: Chinese Jades from New York Collections brings together a remarkable selection of Chinese jade works sourced from prominent New York private collections. Jade has held a central place in Chinese culture for millennia, prized for its beauty, durability, and deep symbolic meaning — embodying virtue, power, and immortality.
The exhibition traces the long arc of jade craftsmanship across dynastic China, from ancient ritual objects to refined decorative pieces of the imperial era. Together, the works reveal how successive generations of artists and patrons shaped a living tradition that endures to this day.
