Östasiatiska museet - Exhibitions

3000 year old bronze vessels, jade, oracle bones from the bronze age kingdoms, Earthen ware mortuary pottery and sculpture from the earliest dynasties, the oldest porcelain, lacquers, Chinese painting and the blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention all the porcelain imported by the Swedish East India Company in the 18th and 19th centuries - a time when China, just like today, was the major production and export country of the East.

Closely interconnected with sculpture and painting is the script, both as a form of art calligraphy - and as historical comments written and engraved on pictures and sculptures. From the exhibition you may continue to the library which provides a point of entry to the rich an varied writing traditions in China and to the role of writing in science and art.
