Ming Wilson is a writer on Chinese art and history
Ming Wilson was formerly Senior Curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, for twenty four years. She has organised exhibitions and written books on a wide range of subjects in Chinese art, including ceramics, jade, paintings for the Western market, and imperial robes.
She has a particular interest in using primary Chinese source material in her research. That specialisation has enabled her to identify diplomatic gifts given to King George III by Emperor Qianlong in 1793.
​
She now lives in London. For the purpose of sharing her knowledge with like-minded people all over the world she has created this website mingwilsonchineseculture.com
