With its renowned reputation for high quality exhibitions, scholarly catalogs and interpretive programming, China Institute Gallery has become a unique resource for the general public, scholars, students and connoisseurs to learn about Chinese art and culture.

SINCE its establishment in 1966 with an embarking exhibition “Selections of Chinese art from private collections in the Metropolitan Area,” China Institute Gallery has presented over 80 highly focused exhibitions of Chinese painting, calligraphy, architecture, decorative art, folk art, photography and textile curated by internationally recognized scholars. China Institute Gallery remains New York’s only non-commercial exhibition space, other than the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dedicated to exhibitions on traditional Chinese art, and as New York Times art critic Holland Cotter stated in March 1999, “immensely important … is the contribution of the China Institute, which every season mounts small-scale focused exhibitions of a kind rarely seen in museums.” With its renowned reputation for high quality exhibitions, scholarly catalogs and innovative art education programs, China Institute Gallery has become an international unique resource for the general public, scholars, students and connoisseurs to learn about Chinese art and culture.
