Court and Capital: Art from Asia’s Greatest Cities

The courts and cities of Asia were―and still are―some of the largest and most important on earth. 

This exhibition presents the grand customs and fashions of Asian capitals, and looks at their transition from feudal seats to modern mega-cities. From the splendor of the Mughal court to the bustling metropolis of nineteenth-century Edo to contemporary Hong Kong, Court and Capital celebrates the art of some of the largest and greatest cities in history.
