Shenzhen "Three-Body Problem: Fragments of Civilization" Immersive VR Exploration Experience Exhibition is based on Liu Cixin's original work, adopting a dual-dimensional "in-mirror + out-mirror" mode. Utilizing real-time rendering, full-body motion capture, and binocular 4K wireless transmission technology, it vividly presents iconic scenes like three suns in the sky, dehydration, and chaotic eras. Visitors can freely explore the 400㎡ venue for 35 min as participants of different civilizations, making choices based on "civilization fragment" clues before ultimately facing the ultimate question: whether to welcome the Trisolarans. Outdoor installations like the 13-meter-long "Natural Selection" battleship, themed lattes, and AI photo opportunities—exclusive Shenzhen content—extend the immersive experience to social and consumption scenarios, creating a cosmic civilization journey for sci-fi fans that's playable, photogenic, and take-home worthy.

Showcasing Bruna's philosophy of "simplicity and beauty," the event invites audiences to appreciate life's warmth and environmental activism through family-oriented viewing experiences, spreading Miffy's values of simplicity, purity, and kindness.

This exhibition is co-organized by Shenzhen Bay Culture Square and Manufactures Nationales - Sèvres & Mobilier National. As an institution under the French Ministry of Culture, Mobilier National inherits the legacy of royal collections while establishing a distinctive tapestry art system. Throughout periods of social change, it has maintained close collaboration with artists of their respective times, serving as both a custodian of France's exquisite craftsmanship and a symbol of its cultural heritage. For centuries, this tapestry art system has served French courts and leading national institutions, embodying the pinnacle of France's achievements in craft and aesthetics. This exhibition marks the first large-scale presentation in Asia of works from this prestigious collection. Bringing together more than forty exceptional tapestries, it traces the key transformations of French tapestry over the past century. From a courtly language of order and authority, tapestry underwent a profound shift in the 20th century, as changing artistic ideas and social contexts reshaped its role. Gradually, it moved beyond decoration andemerged as an independent art form. Featured works include tapestries created byHenri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Zao Wou-Ki, and Victor Vasarely, highlighting the ongoing dialogue and collaboration between artists and the national workshops. These works underscore the deep historical roots and contemporary continuity of tapestry craftsmanship while emphasizing its unique position in the history of visual art. At the same time, the exhibition offers a perspective of “Resonances in China,” situating the traditions of French tapestry art within a cross-cultural dialogue between East and West. Within the context of China's long-standing weaving and design traditions, visitors are invited to reconsider the cultural resonance and renewed significance of this medium in the Chinese context. Shenzhen Bay Culture Plaza, in collaboration with France's National Furniture Museum (Manufactures Nationales - Sèvres & Mobilier National), presents "Century Clues: From Court to Contemporary - French Tapestry Treasures and Chinese Echoes," the Asian debut exhibition of France's national treasure tapestry masterpieces.
