The works of art in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, are classified as national treasures; some have been passed down from dynasty to dynasty since the Northern Sung period (960-1127), the era when the foundation of the collection was amassed.
The greater part of the Museum's vast collection entered the Palace during the reign of the Ch'ien-lung emperor (reigned 1736-95), and many of the objects, especially those in jade and bronze, are intimately connected with state rituals.
Splendors of Imperial China opened to critical acclaim at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (March l9-May 19, 1996), and went on to impressive crowds at the Art Institute of Chicago (June 29-August 25, 1996).
The museum became known as the Center for AsianArt and Culture and was renamed the AsianArtMuseum of San Francisco in 1972.
The AsianArtMuseum is the first one in the United States devoted exclusively to arts of Asia.
In addition, the AsianArtMuseum Foundation, the Society for AsianArt, the Museum society, The museum Society Auxiliary, the Connoisseurs Council, and other devoted individuals have substantially augmented Brundage's benefactions with fine objects of quality and rarity in furtherance of the objectives of the Museum's major donor.
