Since then, gifts from generous donors have continuously augmented the holdings, including works from the Song and Yuan to modern periods. Since the inception of the Art Museum, Chinese epigraphy and rubbings have been its major objectivesin acquisition and research. The rare rubbings from the Song and Ming eras are renowned.
