Poly Art Museum

This private museum in central Beijing is known for its collection of ancient Chinese bronzes and Buddhist stone sculpture assembled by a large state-linked enterprise. Among its treasures are several bronze animal heads once looted from the imperial Old Summer Palace, now repatriated and displayed as symbols of cultural recovery. The intimate galleries present ritual vessels and standing stone Buddhas of exceptional quality. Its focused, high-value holdings make it a rewarding stop for connoisseurs of early Chinese art.
