You may not know it by looking at it, but the artwork on this keychain has ties to the 250th anniversary of the United States. As part of this celebration, the MFA Boston's Art of the Americas galleries are being reimagined; including a gallery focusing on Asian influence on American art. The design from this porcelain vase made in China was one of the pieces that made its way to America and was woven into our country's history.
