Whether fascinated by the prodigious artistic range of the world’s longest continuous civilization, intrigued by the buoyancy of its contemporary art market or curious about what’s moving the needle at international auction houses, China has bags to share. Private access to a normally closed frescoed cave at the birthplace of Chinese figurative art? A meeting with one of the world’s most successful Chinese artists? Want to go behind the scenes with a Director of China’s largest independent auction house? What about doing all this, as well as visiting a stretch of the Great Wall others don’t commonly see, visiting palaces of the Forbidden City normally closed to the public or meeting the owner of one of China’s best private ceramic collections.

Whatever your area and level of interest, from cursory to specialist, from antique jade to cricket-fighting, we look forward to opening doors to deepen your exploration of Chinese culture.
