22nd March – (one week later than usual because of Mother’s Day) – The Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art at the British Museum
The Foundation holds one of the most important collections of Chinese ceramics outside China, founded by the collector Sir Percival David (1892– 1964). This is housed in Room 95, on the North Wing, 4th Floor of the British Museum. The display includes outstanding examples from the Song (960–1279), Yuan (1279–1368), Ming (1368– 1644), and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties. The surrounding Asian art rooms offer further displays of sculpture, jade and calligraphy collections. The British Museum is free of charge. There are many cafés opposite the museum on Great Russell Street where we can lunch or you can bring a packed lunch. We meet at Harrow-on-the-Hill Station at 12.00 and travel together. Please contact Pam Gonsal CLICK HERE by the 15th March to let her know you are coming. (Leader Pam Lea)
