In an unprecedented collaboration between the Guggenheim Museum and the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, more than 250 spectacular examples of art from 17 regions in China are presented in this in-depth exploration of the themes of innovation and transformation during the great eras of Chinese art.
