For two decades a Cincinnati family has housed Chinese treasures in their home and now it’s time to bring those treasures out of hiding.

The exhibition, courtesy of the two private collectors, is an opportunity to see Neolithic pottery, contemporary paintings by artists who were trained after the Cultural Revolution, as well as pieces of furniture dating back to the Ming dynasty all the way up until the modern Qing dynasty.
