Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art The Bishop White Gallery of Chinese Temple Art 〔http://www.rom.on.ca/en/exhibitions-galleries/galleries/world-cultures/bishop-white-gallery-chinese-temple-art〕 is one of four galleries in the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) that are dedicated to Chinese art and archaeology. It contains one of the most important collections of Chinese temple art in the world,〔http://romlx6.rom.on.ca/exhibitions/wculture/bishop.php〕 including three Yuan Dynasty (1271 – 1368 AD) temple wall paintings from Shanxi Province that adorn the three walls of the Gallery, and several wooden sculptures depicting bodhisattvas from the 12th to the 15th centuries. These are some of the earliest acquisitions and most iconic objects in the ROM. ==Name of the Gallery==
The Gallery is named in honour of Bishop William Charles White (1873-1960), an Anglican missionary, educated at Wycliffe College in the University of Toronto, who became Bishop of Honan Province, China (1909-1934). Bishop White was chiefly responsible for building and interpreting the ROM’s Chinese collection in the early days and, in particular, for the acquisition of the Buddhist wall painting on the north wall of this Gallery and the H.H. Mu 〔http://guides.library.utoronto.ca/content.php?pid=457463&sid=3847487〕 Far Eastern Library . He was also the first curator of the East Asian galleries (1934-1948) and founder of the School of Chinese Studies (later the East Asian Studies Department) at the University of Toronto in 1934. The Bishop White Committee in the Royal Ontario Museum was founded shortly after his death to promote the collections of the East Asian Galleries.〔Walmsley L, Bishop in Honan.
