20180308 大英博物馆中国玉器收藏 British Museum Chinese Jade Collection 

20180308期“海外艺宴”请卡罗尔·迈克尔森讲解大英博物馆玉器收藏。
卡罗尔·迈克尔森从1991年进入大英博物馆工作，策划或参与过大英博物馆中国陕西文物精品展（1999）、秦始皇帝展（2007）、上海博物馆玉器和青铜器展（2009）等展览。迈克尔森关于中国艺术的作品颇丰，如《英国收集中国玉器概略史》。目前，她还在为大英博物馆收购中国当代玉器。
大英博物馆成立于1753年，是世界上历史最悠久、规模最宏伟的综合性博物馆，也是世界上规模最大、最著名的世界四大博物馆之一。
目前，大英博物馆拥有包括书画、青铜、玉器、瓷器、织品、雕塑、金属、漆器、服饰在内的2.3万件中国文物，它也因此成为海外收藏中国文物最多的博物馆。
2017年12月14日，在18个月的漫长整修后，主要陈列中国文物的大英博物馆33展厅，对公众重新开放。
1992年，在香港商人、收藏家何鸿卿的资助下，33号展厅名为“何鸿卿爵士东方文物展厅”。除了中国文物，这里还有南亚和东南亚文物。而在这一次的整修完成后，陈列有了较大调整，33号展厅也更名为“何鸿卿爵士中国与南亚展厅”。
20180308 "Overseas Art Feast" asked Carol Michaelson to explain the British Museum jade collection.
Carol Michaelson joined the British Museum in 1991 and has planned or participated in exhibitions such as the British Museum, Shaanxi Cultural Relics Exhibition (1999), Emperor Qin Shi Emperor (2007), Shanghai Museum of Jade Articles and Bronze Show (2009). Michaelson's work on Chinese art is very rich, such as "The British collection of Chinese jade artifact history." At present, she is still acquiring Chinese contemporary jade for the British Museum.
Founded in 1753, the British Museum is the world’s oldest and most ambitious comprehensive museum and one of the largest and most famous museums in the world.
At present, the British Museum has 23,000 pieces of Chinese cultural relics, including paintings and calligraphy, bronze, jade, porcelain, fabrics, sculptures, metals, lacquerware, and costumes. It has thus become the largest collection of Chinese cultural relics.
On December 14, 2017, after a long period of 18 months of renovation, the 33rd exhibition room of the British Museum, which mainly displayed Chinese cultural relics, was reopened to the public.
In 1992, under the financial support of Hong Kong businessman and collector Ho Hung Ching, Hall 33 was titled “The Sir Ho Hung Ching Oriental Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall”. In addition to Chinese artifacts, there are cultural artifacts in South and Southeast Asia. After this renovation, the display has been greatly adjusted. Hall 33 has also been renamed "Sir He Hongqing China and South Asia Exhibition Hall."
