摘要
The Palace Museum, often known as the Forbidden City, was established in 1925. Ninety-seven years later, the Hong Kong Palace Museum opened to the public with a suite of seven spectacular opening exhibitions featuring treasures from the Forbidden City. After the opening, the Hong Kong Palace Museum presented nine new exhibitions.
How did our teams from the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum curate these scholarly yet accessible exhibitions and explore new ways of looking at Chinese art and culture, and cultural exchanges between China and the world? Topics examined in this talk include curatorial methodology, collaboration, cultural exchange, as well as tradition and Innovation.
