The Poon family collection showcases a rich tapestry of personalities and histories spanning from the 18th century to the present. Pioneered by Pan Youwei (1743-1821), flourished under Pan Zhengwei (1791-1850) with the Tingfanlou Collection and Ronald Poon (1942-2022) with the Canton Collection, the Poon Family Collection comprises treasures curated over two centuries of scholarly passion and connoisseurship. The story of how the collections came into existence and evolved in response to the social changes in China within one single family over multiple generations is remarkable to historians in its own right.
