From the collection of Sven Johnsson who funded AB Jonax, in import firm of textile products and gloves. Mr Johnsson first came to China in the 1950’s and made several jouneys to China. He soon started to collect.

Mr Johnsson wrote a diary and describes what happened during the cultural revolution, how businessmen were invited to purchase antiques and works of arts from warehouses where they were gathered by the government in rule. He then decided to expand his business to Chinese porcelain and paintings.
