I am glad I found information about this museum online and called for a reservation. I expected much smaller collection for a free gallery, but collection is impressive and includes emperors' furniture, pottery, porcelain, clothes, etc from 5000 years period. We came 40 minutes earlier and had time to visit beautiful botanical garden nearby. We had a 1,5 hours tour with an excellent passionate guide Holly. We really enjoyed this museum! You can't take pictures in museum.

Dear Visitors,Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review and including valuable info about visiting the Chen Art Gallery. We always do our best to accommodate walk ins but we have become so popular and busy that now we are requesting our guests to call ahead to schedule their visit (our phone number is listed on our website). Currently we limit the tour to about 1 1/2 hours but on days that we are not so busy that day we sometimes can stretch it out longer for guests who really appreciate the art work and don't mind being on their feet for longer, such as yourselves.Glad to hear that you had the time to visit our garden area as well. We sincerely hope that you will visit us again the next time you are in town!

We were surprised by the extensive collection of Chinese art pieces in this hidden museum. The collection has items from the neolithic period up to contemporary artwork, and everything in between. There are more things here than we've seen in many other museums. Also, you are given a tour of the collection. Our guide was Holly. She is very knowledgeable, and her enthusiasm for the museum and art there was obvious. We really enjoyed this tour and will be back for sure when we're in the area. There is also a garden, which we did not have time to visit but maybe next time!

Nestled within the Sunrider corporate building, Chen Art Gallery offers a vast variety of period pieces from the ancient royal Chinese dynasties. Themes are arranged within categories such as furniture of the Ming Dynasty, Xing Dynasty, pottery, jade, paintings, calligraphy, snuff bottles, royal apparel, and religious artifacts. Some historical pieces date back as far as 3000 years ago, with many pieces over 500-700 BC. Mr Chen's collection is elaborate, invaluable, and a museum worthy must see. His collection is a compilation of 40 yrs - in the making. With pieces on rotation fir viewing. Our curator was very friendly, educational, and personable. You can tell she truly enjoys her occupation.Tip: You must arrange for a complimentary, intimate, group tour. Unfortunately, they are only open during the business week during business hours, closed on major holidays. You're is approximately 90 minutes.Sunrider specializes in health and beauty products, are have a huge market in Asia (Taiwan & China). His wife runs the company, as Mr Chen specializes in the product development and meticulous art purchasing. They are photographed with former presidents R. Reagan & B. Clinton.Also, there is a cute botanical garden with herbs, gazebo, koi pond at the next building over. Enjoy!

I was really surprised at the items this gallery displayed. It all was so fascinating. There were so many really priceless artifacts on display. One fascinating thing was the porcelain pillow. There were numerous really ornate vases. The items of emperors on display were elegant and interesting. The emperor robes were elegant.

It's like being invited into the inner sanctum - very private, gorgeously detailed & curated. We spent hours looking at every item - it helps to have a docent point out the best treasures.

I read about this on Trip Advisor before visiting in Torrance. I have NEVER been disappointed from fellow TA reviewers. Our guide was excellent and had a wealth of knowledge to impart. Who knew that jade was more valuable than gold?! This collection is certainly the envy of many museums of art and exceeds many museums in value. There are also botanical gardens outside but by the time we finished our tour they were closed. If you have any interest in this type of collection, PLEASE don't miss it. You'll truly be sorry.
