The current exhibition opened on Friday, July 29 and is indeed an extraordinary display of collecting and connoisseurship in the scholarly taste.

The delightful Ming-Qing Dynasty scholar’s studio captures the essence of the ambience into which a scholar may retreat. The uncluttered setting, conveying a distinct sense of quiet harmony and subtle elegance, offers the viewers a glimpse into the preferences of a refined gentleman.

This exhibition features Las Vegas collectors as well as treasures from the Pacific Asian Museum. On display are selected items from the fabulous Facciani Jade Collection, two majestic hanging scrolls of the Wing Fong Chinese Painting Collection, and antiques from the Pacific Asian Museum.

In December 2004, the Las Vegas Art Museum became a Sister Museum of the NaXi DongBa Cultural Museum in China. A display introducing LVAM’s Chinese sister museum is located in the entry alcove. This unprecedented relationship not only recognizes the ever growing diverse ethnic community of our city, it will facilitate future friendly exchanges across the Pacific and promote meaningful co-operation between the two museums

As our city develops into a major urban center as it is destined to do, our museums and cultural centers will need the continued support from our community. It is up to each individual resident to preserve our natural environment and to promote our cultural environment.
