The collection of Asian art at the Belz Museum of Asian and Judaic art is the largest and most comprehensive in the southern region of the United States. China is represented by outstanding works of art, many of which were created during China’s Qing dynasty, and are characteristic of an ancient culture with rich artistic traditions. The collection of more than 900 objects, which range in date from 202 BC to the early twentieth century, includes intricately carved jades, ivories, sculptures, paintings, ceramics, lacquer, textiles and funerary art. The museum is renowned for its many monumental jade carvings. In addition to the Asian collection, the collection of Judaica (historical and literal pieces relating to Judaism) reflects the artistic journey of some of Israel’s most celebrated contemporary artists
including, Daniel Kafri, Nicki Imber and Ofra Friedland.  

	Visitors to the museum find themselves amazed at the museum’s hundreds of stunning pieces of art - a large portion of which includes rare examples from the Qing Dynasty - the last great dynasty of ancient China. Artwork from this dynasty was created by artisans and craftsmen who spent many years perfecting each piece to convey the patronage of the Qing Court. The result is some of the most exquisite treasures the world has ever seen. And some of the greatest examples - finely detailed artwork in jade and semiprecious stones, ivory, and cloisonné - can be seen here.
