Hi,
The boys would probably think it is neat, the tour guides wear period costumes and tell the story of the fort and the history of the era. It will be a good experience for them.

We have 3 grandsons ages 9, 11, 13. Would this be a place that would pique their interest. They are relatively quiet well behaved boys and we want something they can relate to and enjoy.

It sounds like you will truly enjoy this exhibit and understand the complex nature of the Asian artistry.

“This particular exhibit will be of The Qing (pronounced Ching) dynasty in China began in 1664, after the Manchu overthrow of the Han Ming empire and with the ascension to the throne of seven-year-old Emperor Kangxi. It endured for more than 250 years, until 1911, when revolt led to the establishment of the Republic of China (now, the People’s Republic of China).
The exhibition spans the entire dynasty, presenting over 200 porcelain, metal, lacquer, textile, ivory, and jade objects, some produced under the supervision of the court and in the imperial workshops. The objects, many created for the court or its officials, offer visitors the opportunity to experience the magnificence of Qing creativity at its finest, contrasted by items produced for commerce as the dynasty drew to a close. Included are examples of porcelain from the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen, with their remarkable glazes and enameling; textiles demonstrating court dress; furniture from the Summer Palace; and smaller objects, such as belt buckles and abstinence plaques. A highlight is the 18th-century, eight-panel, carved red lacquer screen recently acquired by Joslyn Art Museum, which will, for the first time, be placed in the context of Qing dynasty decorative arts.” (this information was obtained from the Joslyn Art Museum website for upcoming events.

With your training you will truly appreciate the adventure through the time.

Although we are not affiliated with museum, http://www.nebraskabeautiful.com is pleased that you have asked us for the information.

We are a travel site, dedicated to providing the best possible information we can obtain to those that are traveling in America. We wish you joy on your trip and would love for you to write us again and tell us your impression and experience at the museum.
