The State Department has determined that certain Chinese bronzes being imported for temporary display in the "Recasting the Past: The Art of Chinese Bronzes, 1100-1900" exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are culturally significant. The display of these objects in the United States is considered to be in the national interest. The determination was made under specific legal authorities and communicated by Nicole L. Elkon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Professional and Cultural Exchanges.
Simple Explanation
Some special old Chinese bronze objects are coming to a museum in New York for a short time, and the government thinks it's important for people in the U.S. to see them.
