About Programme

The J. S. Lee Memorial Fellowship Programme supports curators, museum professionals and academics taking part in attachment/ fellowship programmes in Participating Institutions. In order to realize the goal of promoting international exchanges and cooperation in the field of Chinese art, the programme will require applicants to be based in museums or institutions outside of their own national borders. Fields of fellowships include Chinese art history, curatorship, archaeology, conservation, museum management and museum education.

Fellows who are selected will have an opportunity to work under leading curatorial professionals, and to participate in curatorial work and research for a period of four to twelve months. The fellowship funds will cover international round-trip airfare and living expenses during the attachment period. The programme does NOT fund formal study or travel programmes.

The programme encourages exchanges between the East and the West, priority of the Fellowship is given to applicants who have limited exchange experience.
