CHINESE WHISPERS

Visit the Chinese Whispers event on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Bellingrath Gardens. For centuries, the West has been captivated by the art and symbolism of China, and this fascination is reflected in American interiors of the 19th century. This captivating presentation by Bellingrath Home Museum Director Tom McGehee will include highlights of exquisite Chinese ceramics, metals, furniture, and textiles found within the Bellingrath collection. Learn how these elegant pieces bring an Eastern influence to the estate’s otherwise Western design and uncover the deeper meanings behind their motifs. Free for members and included with regular Gardens admission for non-members. For more information, visit here: bellingrath.org/event/chinese-whispers/
