Exhibition

Imagining China: The View from Europe, 1550–1700

September 18, 2009–January 9, 2010 10am–5pm
Monday–Saturday
Folger Great Hall

Curators: Timothy Billings, with Jim Kuhn
Alexander Huang, video curator

Early modern Europeans imagined China as a land of wonder, of riches, and of enormous opportunity. Rare books and maps from the Folger collection, along with items from the Library of Congress and the Walters Arts Museum, capture England's dawning cultural awareness and admiration of things Chinese.
