"The Ming dynasty reception hall in the Philadelphia Museum of Art is well known as an exceptional monument of Chinese architecture. When the painted decoration in the hall was subject to a major conservation treatment in 1995-96, Museum conservator Sally Malenka, scientist Beth Price, and assistant curator Adriana Proser conducted important new research with regard to its history and painted decoration. The results of their investigations, published her, show once mor that the fame of the Musuem's hall is full deserved." -Foreword.
