Next date:

Start date: Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Event is ongoing: Until Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Stunning exhibition celebrates the traditional art of Chinese red sandalwood carving and is highlighted by a nine foot tall model of the Ten Thousand Springs. One fifth the size of the original pavilion – found within the Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City in Beijing – the model was constructed from 3,000 hand-carved pieces using a mortise-and-tenon joinery (no nails). The exhibition also features photographs and text panels, in English and Chinese, with information about the Imperial Garden and the Forbidden City. On loan from the Smithsonian Institution.
