A comprehensive collection of Chinese bronzes from the 12th to 19th centuries has opened at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) on Friday (local time), marking a new chapter in Sino-US cultural exchanges.
Themed "Recasting the Past: The Art of Chinese Bronzes, 1100-1900", the exhibition is co-organized by the Shanghai Museum and The Met.
Showcasing more than 200 collections created during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) through to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the exhibition is the result of three years of preparation by the two museums and also the most comprehensive study of Chinese bronzes during this period.

More than 50 collections, including national first-class cultural relics, have come from a number of museums across China. They were delivered with special and delicate logistics services by China Eastern Airlines, presenting an example of how aviation can support cultural tourism exchanges between China and foreign countries, the Shanghai-based carrier said.
The exhibition will run for seven months, concluding on Sept 28, 2025, before a follow-up exhibition is held at Shanghai Museum East from Nov 12, 2025, to March 16, 2026, according to the plan.
