A Curatorial Tour of Myanmar Celadon Ceramics

3pm Saturday, 25 March 2017
NUS Museum
50 Kent Ridge Crescent, Singapore 119279

Curator Foo Su Ling of NUS Museum will give a curatorial tour introducing ceramics produced by Myanmar potters in the 15th century, alongside with current attempts to revive and develop this old tradition. Archaeological investigations in Lower Myanmar in the 1990s revealed historical kiln complexes specialised in making green ware (celadon). This exhibition shows a range of green ware from these historic kilns in Myanmar together with pieces from contemporary potters who have recently experimented with ash glazes.

This will be followed by a tour of NUS Museum’s permanent ceramic collection by Lim Yah Chiew.
