Most of the pieces in this exhibit, including the items from underground treasure chambers, come from the private collection of Chen Yung-tai, chairman of the Aurora Foundation, who has spent many years assembling an assortment of ancient Chinese jade, ceramics, tiles in bas-relief, and bronzes. His interest in collecting has prompted him to do extensive research on ancient Chinese artifacts.
這次展出的大多數佛教文物精品，包括地宮展品，來自震旦行董事長陳永泰的私人收藏。本著對骨董藝術的喜愛，多年來，陳永泰對中國古玉、古陶、畫象磚及銅器等藝品都廣為收藏，經由收藏，也進入中國古文物的研究天地裡。
