Last month, the museum also enjoyed a moment in the celebrity spotlight when the 16th Asian Film Awards was held there. “This loan is among the largest the Palace Museum has ever lent to another cultural institution since its establishment in 1925. To promote cultural exchanges between China and other parts of the world, the Hong Kong Palace Museum also loaned 13 art pieces from the iconic Louvre Museum in Paris,” she added.Among the nine galleries featured, five play host to thematic exhibitions telling the story of the history and culture of the Palace Museum.

In Gallery 2, patrons can listen to poems composed by Emperor Qianlong. At the eighth section of the exhibition, which surveys the emperor’s love for calligraphy, one can try their hand at Chinese calligraphy using a stylus in the shape of a paintbrush. The exhibition ends with an interactive space where patrons can design their own digital imperial porcelains.

Bringing together over 90 items from the Palace Museum, the exhibition allows visitors to understand the connection between contemporary designs and ancient craftsmanship, the origins of Chinese designs and the influence of Chinese craftsmanship on the contemporary world.In the late 19th century, Hong Kong became a hub for collecting Chinese art.

There is also Joseph Chan’s enormous Clock Of Nature built from over 3,700 parts. The work is inspired by timepieces from the Qing court’s collection. This month, the Hong Kong Palace Museum will launch Cartier And Women, the first major exhibition that foregrounds women’s role and presence in the history of Cartier.
