Sammy Yukuan Lee Lecture Series on Chinese Art and Archaeology
Since the founding of the series in 1982, the Sammy Yukuan Lee Lectures in Chinese Art and Archaeology have brought to UCLA some of the world's leading scholars of premodern Chinese art.
Supported through the generosity of the Lee Family Foundation and named in honor of the connoisseur and philanthropist who is the family's patriarch, these lectures are designed to reveal the glories of China's artistic heritage for appreciative viewers in Southern California and far beyond.
