The Asia Society Collectors Series: Home Visit with Mimi Wong Hung
VIEW EVENT DETAILSHome Visit and Private Viewing with Mimi Wong Hung, Collector
Classical Chinese furniture is treasured for its precious wood, simple form and superb craftsmanship. Mimi Wong Hung has been collecting Ming and early Qing furniture for several decades and her Collection is reputed to be one of the finest in the world. Mimi has kindly agreed to host a private viewing at her residence for Asia Society members. Mimi lives with her Collection in a very tactile way—her family eat their meals on a large painting table, sit on the Ming chairs and she sleeps in a Ming dynasty canopy bed. The Asia Society Collectors Series was launched in 2009 to enhance appreciation and understanding of Asian art by taking members to the private treasure troves of art connoisseurs in Hong Kong. Do join us for this rare opportunity.
