Objects, materials, living China

Begin with what survived. Ask what still lives.

A carefully chosen group of objects can reveal more than an exhaustive museum circuit. Material, technique and ritual become bridges between ancient China and the Shanghai outside.

Three ways in

Move from observation to understanding.

Each chapter adds a different perspective. Together they form one coherent experience rather than a list of disconnected stops.
