The exhibits, seventy ancient Chinese bronzes have been selected from the Shouyang Studio collection in New York. Together they illustrate the development of bronze art and technology from the Xia to the Western Han dynasties in China. Including quite a number of inscribed pieces, the bronzes provide a wealth of information for both the scholar and the layman. Jointly organized by the Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Shouyang Studio and the Shanghai Museum, the exhibition was on display at the Shanghai Museum, and afterwards travelled to CUHK in Hong Kong. The opening ceremony was hosted by Prof. Lawrence Lau, CUHK Vice-Chancellor on 27 February 2009.
