Celebrate Chinese New Year at the ROM with Rare Ancestral Portraits
Wednesday, 06 February 2019 11:10.AM
Celebrate Chinese New Year at the Royal Ontario Museum with an Original Exhibition of Rare Ancestral Portraits and Popular Prints.
Drawn from the ROM's permanent collection, Gods in My Home: An Exhibition of Chinese Ancestor Portraits and Popular Prints features a selection of ancestral portrait paintings and popular prints that traditionally were part of Lunar New Year observances and celebrations in Chinese households. Now open, the exhibition coincides with the widely-celebrated Chinese New Year holiday, and explores the connections between the domestic, material and spiritual life of Chinese society.
Gods in My Home comprises over 100 objects spanning the late Imperial period to the early 20th century Republic era. With a focus on ancestral paintings and popular prints of deities, the exhibition explores the connection between these two seemingly separate genres. Chinese families believed that the presence of these images both blessed and protected the family lines.
Gods in my Home is on display on Level 4, Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles and Costumes, and included with Museum admission.
