The Chinese were famous for their “junk,” but probably not the type of junk you’re thinking of!  This introductory program focuses on ancient China’s geography, architecture, and maritime vessels. Viewing many objects from our online Collection, students will compare and contrast different artifacts and create a boat out of paper.
