Exhibits Gallery, National Bonsai & Penjing Museum

Christopher M. Cochrane, a longstanding friend of the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum and dedicated connoisseur of East Asian art, particularly viewing stones, passed away in December 2024. As a passionate collector of viewing stones, scholars’ rocks, root art, scrolls, and literati objects, Chris filled his life with art and with friends and fellow travelers.  In collaboration with members of the Potomac Viewing Stone Group, the Museum is pleased to present a small portion of the collection which brought Chris such joy.
