Within the Emperor's Garden: the Ten Thousand Springs Pavilion September 24, 2011

Based on the original Wan Chun Ting pavilion that majestically stands on the east side of the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City in China, this highly detailed 1:5 scale replica is made of red sandalwood, prized in Imperial China and constructed using mortise-and-tenon joinery. The exhibition was organized by the Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute, with assistance of the China Red Sandalwood Museum and the Savannah College of Art and Design.
