| Description: | The
UM Museum of Arts (UMMA) has a very close relationship with the National
Cultural Relics Bureau in Beijing and many of the leading Museums in
China, including the Palace Museum
in Beijing, the Historical Museum in Xian, the Shanghai Municipal Museum,
and several other major art academies in Nanjing, Beijing and Hangzhou.
Two conservators were hired by the UMMA from the Palace Museum in Beijing.
Two of UM graduate students majoring in Chinese Art History studied at the
Central Art Academy in Beijing. The
UM Museum of Arts has a special relationship with the Shaanxi
Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and the Museums in Xian. The UMMA
invited three directors from Xian to attend the UM Museumology session in
1992. Meanwhile those invited visitors brought three terra cotta statues,
two figures and one horse, for exhibition at the Museum, which was one of
the most successful Asian shows at UMMA. |
