College of East Asian Studies Gallery at Mansfield Freeman Center
The College of East Asian Studies houses and maintains collections of East Asian art and historical archives as educational resources for Wesleyan’s East Asian Studies Program. Both collections were established in 1987, the year of the Mansfield Freeman Center’s founding, with an initial gift of Chinese works of art and historical documents from Dr. Chih Meng, Founding Director of the China Institute in America, and his wife Huan-shou Meng. The collection includes approximately 300 works of art in various media, from works of painting and calligraphy, prints, and rubbings to rare books, textiles, ceramics, and other miscellaneous media from China, Japan, and Korea. The majority of the works date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The College of East Asian Studies Gallery at Mansfield Freeman Center is curated by Associate Director of Visual Arts Benjamin Chaffee and Exhibitions Manager Rosemary Lennox.
