Welcome from Jack and Marilyn Belz

"Our planet is home to a marvelous diversity of cultures with rich artistic and historic legacies. The intricate creations of Chinese artists rank among the most inspiring. These artworks are frequently crafted of rare and precious materials, which reveal an enormous patience and painstaking execution.

"We have some of our favorite examples of Chinese artistry in this museum, along with other artistic treasures including Judaica, Russian lacquer boxes, contemporary glass, Italian mosaics, mineral specimens and scholar rocks. These rare objects reflect our collective humanity in very special ways. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have."

Mr. Jack Belz
