Yin Yu Tang is a late Qing dynasty merchants' home that was transported from its original site in southeastern China and rebuilt at the Peabody Essex Museum It offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Huang family, residents for more than two centuries. The story of the dismantling, transport and reassembly is a fine example of an international preservation project. (flash alert)

I appreciated it! It's a beautifully produced overview of an amazing project indeed. As a scholar of Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, I'm always interested in the social, economic and political history surrounding it. Thanks, madamjjj.

Great site! The mortise-and-tenon animations were especially fascinating.
