Chinese Whispers

Discovering Asian Influence in the Bellingrath Collection

Join us for a captivating presentation by Bellingrath Home Museum Director Tom McGehee. For centuries, the West has been captivated by the art and symbolism of China—and this fascination is reflected in American interiors of the 19th century. You’ll see highlights of exquisite Chinese ceramics, metals, furniture, and textiles found within the Bellingrath collection. Learn how these elegant pieces bring an Eastern influence to the estate’s otherwise Western design, and uncover the deeper meanings behind their motifs.
