Small in size, grand in artistry! At Changsha Museum in Hunan province, the snuff bottle art exhibition reveals a world of miniature masterpieces. Delicate enough to fit in the palm of your hand, each snuff bottle combines painting, calligraphy, carving, and inlay craftsmanship into one tiny treasure. Though the custom of taking snuff has faded, these exquisitely crafted bottles preserve the ingenuity and extraordinary skill of ancient artisans.

Dates: Until May 5
