 Poly
Art Museum was founded in December 1998 with the  approval
of State Administration of Cultural Heritage of China and
Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau and opened to public in December
1999. It is the first museum operated by a state-owned enterprise
in the Chinese mainland. The aim of the museum is to develop
and display traditional national culture and art, and to rescue
and protect Chinese cultural relics lost abroad. It has two
parts of exhibition: bronze and stone carvings. Most of the
exhibits have been retrieved from abroad, and a considerable
part has especially high historical and artistic value as
they are quintessence or the only existing versions. The “China
Ancient Bronze Art Exhibition” displays more than 100 pieces
(groups) of excellent bronzes that present the development
and charm of China’s ancient bronze civilization. The “China
Ancient Stone Carvings Exhibition” displays more than 40 exquisite
stone carvings from the fifth to eighth century, a peak period
of China’s Buddhist art. Now the Poly Art Museum is regarded
in China and abroad as one of the best known museums in the
Chinese mainland.
 In May
2000, the Poly Group retrieved three national treasures –
the Cattle Head, Monkey Head and Tiger Head, all made of bronze.
They were robbed out of China by western powers from Yuan
Ming Yuan Park more than 100 years ago. The retrieve action
won approval and support from a large social circle both at
home and abroad, and inspired patriotism among the Chinese
people, especially overseas Chinese. Poly Group exhibited
the treasures in Hong Kong and several other cities including
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and Taiwan. More than four
million visitors have seen them during the tour exhibition,
which has boosted the prestige for Poly Group and Poly Art
Museum. |
