Our Chinese collection is in fact built on donations made by several collectors over the years, such as the big gifts of porcelain, bronzes and sculpture made early this century and the Eumorfopoulos donation of T'ang and Sung items given to us in the 1930s.
我們的中國收藏基礎，大多數是來自建館以來幾位大收藏家的先後捐贈，像廿世紀初的 Gulland，Salting，Bushell 所留下的大量瓷器、青銅、雕塑，還有三○年代希臘船商 Eumnorfopoulos 捐贈的唐、宋器物，此外，博物院本身也陸續購買中國文物。
