“MING” opens at the Asian Museum of Art this Friday. Many of the pieces in the exhibit (240 pieces — porcelain, paintings, textiles, lacquer, jade, jewelry) — have never been seen outside of China (and, in some cases, not even there). According the the museum’s new director, Jay Xu, the word ‘Ming’ means ‘bright’ in Chinese. Bling?
The exhibit will be at the Asian through September 21.
