A Scottish romance in Eastern China

Crown is proud to have been part of this incredibly insightful and educational exhibition.
The Crown Fine Art teams in the United Kingdom and China have had the opportunity to work with Historic Environment Scotland (HES), the National Galleries of Scotland and the Nanjing Museum to bring the Romantic Scotland exhibition to China. 

The exhibition, which takes audiences back to the eighteenth century, explores the rich and iconic history of Scotland. Through a variety of objects, paintings, artefacts and photographs, the exhibition aims to strengthen Sino-Scottish relations by highlighting the strong cultural ties between these two great nations.

Crown is proud to have been part of this incredibly insightful and educational exhibition.
