MAY 1, 2017 -AUGUST 8, 2017
From May 1st to August 8th, 2017, Poly Culture Art Center Vancouver hosted a new Chinese art exhibition titled “Selected Bronze Censers of the Ming and Qing Dynasties”. A total of more than 50 pieces were on exhibition with a feature of prominent bronze censers from China’s history, which haven’t previously left China before the Vancouver dates. Bronze censers were chosen due to the fact that the artifacts have now become one of the most sought-after items among art collectors.
As an important part of this exhibition, antique and art experts were invited to present lectures, guided tours and chance to experience a range of incense selected for this exhibition.
