A glance at historic China

Art | Gods in My Home Jan. 26 to Sept. 15, ROM

To celebrate the Chinese New Year and usher in the Year of the Pig, the ROM is transforming its fourth-floor textiles and costume gallery into an exhibit of traditional Chinese ancestral portraits and deity prints, which date back to the revolutionary birth of modern China at the turn of the 20th century. Featuring more than 100 works, including intricately painted portraits and ornate scrolls believed to be talismans for protection and good luck, the collection offers a unique look into the family values, rituals and rites of one of the world’s oldest and richest cultural traditions.
