Housed in a listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of Bloomsbury, the Percival David Foundation comprises the finest collection of Chinese ceramics outside China.
Presented to the University of London in 1950 by the late Sir Percival David, the collection boasts approximately 1,700 pieces of ceramics and stoneware from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and includes a number of pieces which were previously owned by Chinese emperors.
A comprehensive library of East Asian and Western books, periodicals and pamphlets relating to Chinese art and culture are also on display.
