Wonderfully put together. I am a volunteer there and learned so much. Thanks

[@hochang927]

the reason of wearing gloves is to prevent the sweat may damage the fragile antique material for the future generations may still can enjoy.

[@PeterDad60]

Not the sweat so much but rather the acid, grease and grime present on human skin as well as the moisture.

[@alencuric9035]

you rasista

[@megancrager4397]

Those seals on the scroll really resemble a QR code 🧐 how cool

[@gklpang]

Reference to the red lacquered dragon plate........that was a 5 clawed dragon but showing only 4 claws in front........the 5th claw is hidden in the back of the plaque holding it up

[@jakiewang8479]

[@robinfowler5207]

The artwork is tremendous! What heart and soul went into it all, I grew up with so much of Chinese culture in my home and art, I had never known all the true meanings. Beautiful!

[@timhortons2625]

they didn't even wear gloves and mask... i don't think they were extremely careful in terms of handling the ancient artwork...

[@hochang927]

+Tim Hortons. agree. they were very careless to protect the arts for future generations.

[@olofneppelberg2896]

Tim Hortons gloves aren't needed when touching sertain objects. Only materials that are very fragile need gloves

[@giovannibaggio180]

对古书画的修补还是应该请求琉璃厂专家帮忙，否则很容易对艺术品造成永久伤害。 It might be better to ask help from Beijing LiuLiChang experts to restore the old calligraphy and paintings. Otherwise it's very easy to bring permanent damage to the masterpicese.

[@JusticeVSpropaganda]

very nice indeed Regards from Israel :)

[@anonanonymous7048]

It's funny I am an artist and I don't know if I would get to see and experience all that creative wonder, and only time will tell if any of my work will make it there in many future generations , it is truly sad how much they pay for it yet being an artist in this generation it has been such an incredible struggle, for paints for space, for time, yet people who know nothing about the real artist presume to talk about the artists motive and why.😍😣🙁😲😨😢😱😧, well done on keeping it for this generation and future generations🤗

[@riverdeep399]

You don't know those curators aren't artists. You are also making assumptions. :) in the West artists have always struggled, only famous after death, in the main.

Great exhibition of Chinese art in the US. But this American professor laments the lack of equivalent exhibitions of western art in China: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ-Yc32trpKij5o

[@huangzb8060]

A very unprofessional curator who handled and touched ancient paper paintings with bare hand and speak over it with mouth uncovered.!!!!

[@isshylewis9244]

I’m pretty sure for those same “unprofessional” reasons is why he is the expert, has a vast amount of knowledge and information of the subject, speaks multiple languages; (mandarin) one of which is absolutely difficult to understand, works at a place where very few will ever get the opportunity to work; and or visit. And finally, I am 100% certain that he makes a living that put him in above 80% percent of the greater population of the citizens of America…. 🇺🇸 Anyways, I just thought that I’d expand your life just a bit.

[@huangzb8060]

@@isshylewis9244 His that "80% knowledge" and knowledge of few languages does not give him the right to damage old paintings and documents. As a museum curator, he first must have love of the antiques and basic knowledge of handling antiques.

[@annwilliams6438]

These days they have found that handling with clean hands is likely to do less damage than wearing gloves….

The met museum: good oil galleries beats going to the movies or turning on a television to define with: turning on foxnews

thank you for comparing an elephant against a snake.

[@naimulhaq9626]

You haven't seen nothing yet.

[@xyzllii]

Pottery originally was the craft/art of women....internationally. Touching those precious scrolls without gloves is a travesty. Why does the 'expert' do it. So bad.

[@zacknicley8150]

xyzllii Maybe the people who actually work and curate at museums are more expert than you and me?

[@nunyabiznass4702]

I’m positive they know what they are doing and how to do their job no matter what you’ve heard on the interwebs
