The Department of Fine Arts had a strong presence at the \u201cSecond China Middle Period Humanities: 800-1400\u201d international conference that was held at Leiden University, 14-17, September 2017.

The Department sent four scholars to Leiden to discuss research:<\/p>\n

In addition to discussing and debating their own research findings, members of the Department of Fine Arts enjoyed attending other sessions to hear and reflecting on the current state of research on the humanities of Middle-period China. They also managed to fit in a few excursions to see other museums in the environs of Leiden and were particularly taken by the exhibition, \u201cThe Great Liao: Khitan Relics from Inner Mongolia, China\u201d at the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands.<\/p>\n
