Chinese Court Robes: the Mint Museum Collection June 22, 2010

Among the first Northern European artworks to enter the collection of The Mint Museum were those acquired by The Mint Museum Auxiliary in the 1960s. Through the dedication of Auxiliary volunteers, their projects generated funds for numerous art purchases, a tradition that continues today. The Mint Museum collection has been, and continues to be, further enhanced with important donations from art collectors located in Charlotte and beyond.
