Maridon opened on May 8th, 2004. It is the only museum in the
Western Pennsylvania region with a specific focus on Chinese
Art and Culture coupled with German Meissen porcelain. The museum
both the objects and the buildings that house them

in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, pronounced the Maridon
a "gleaming little gem of a museum." |
