Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Gallery of China, ROM, Toronto
China has witnessed thousands of years of continuous history encompassing well over twenty dynastic periods. Paper, tea, gunpowder, and porcelain are just a few of the significant contributions China has introduced to our world. Ranked amongst the top ten Chinese collections in the world outside of China, this gallery represents almost 10,000 years of Chinese history. An amazing record of Chinese culture, told through objects of writing, pottery, sculpture, transportation, jewellery, porcelain, furniture and much more, unfolds in a thematic presentation covering prehistoric times up to the 20th century Qing Dynasty. Some artworks are so unique to the Royal Ontario Museum, there are none other of their kind on display in the world, not even in China.
Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art, ROM, Toronto
The Paradise of Maitreya, the magnificent mural that dominates this gallery, adorned the wall of a Chinese Buddhist monastery that no longer exists. It was created more than seven centuries ago during the Yuan dynasty, when Khubilai Khan ruled and the first travel to China by Europeans such as Marco Polo and his father were chronicled.
A favourite with visitors, this gallery is home to one of the world’s most important collections of Chinese temple art. Some of the first acquisitions made by Royal Ontario Museum are housed here, including the murals – three of the world’s best-preserved – and fourteen large, breathtaking Buddhist and Daoist sculptures from Shanxi province in north China.
