Journey through a millennium of Chinese painting at the Xu Beihong Memorial Museum in Beijing.
Through Millennia: Ancient Chinese Painting Masterpieces Collected by the National Art Museum of China brings nearly 60 works from the Song (960-1279) to Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. From the distinctive style of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou and paintings of Zhong Kui, a legendary demon queller, to elegant depictions of orchids and bamboo, the exhibition traces the evolution of Chinese painting across generations.
