China. Imprints of the Past Discovery of Antiquity and the Renewal of the Arts. 1786-1955

This exhibition explores the rediscovery of Chinese antiquity and its influence on the renewal of the arts between 1786 and 1955. It highlights how archaeological discoveries and the study of ancient objects shaped modern Chinese art.

The Musée Cernuschi, Paris’s museum of Asian arts, houses one of Europe’s most important collections of ancient Chinese art. This exhibition draws from the museum’s rich holdings to trace the evolution of Chinese artistic traditions through nearly two centuries of cultural exchange and discovery.
