The Folger Library is located on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC and on the web at the address below. It has a fascinating exhibition running through January 9, 2010. Entitled "Imagining China," the exhibition looks at what Europeans knew/thought about China during the period 1550-1700. The exhibition includes illustrated books, maps, woodblock prints, ceramics, and much more. The website is well-done and a help for those unable to get to DC to see the actual materials.
