"In Search of Fragrance: Chinese Fragrance Culture and Art Exhibition": Hong Kong Museum of Art

Walking into the Hong Kong Museum of Art is like embarking on a fragrance journey spanning thousands of years! This exhibition, "In Search of Fragrance - Chinese Fragrance Culture and Art Exhibition", is presented by the Hong Kong Jockey Club and will take you to explore the long history and artistic charm of Chinese fragrance culture. The exhibition displays 160 sets of treasures from the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Shanghai Museum, covering various incense utensils and artworks from the Neolithic period to the Qing Dynasty. You can see ancient sachets, incense burners, incense boxes, etc. These exquisite items are not only an important part of the lives of the ancients, but also the embodiment of their spiritual pursuits and artistic creations. Each exhibit in the exhibition has its own unique story. For example, the Boshan furnace with a phoenix stepping on a tortoise base from the Han Dynasty is a bronze artifact that not only has a beautiful shape, but also symbolizes the ancient people's awe and worship of the heavens, the earth and nature. There is also a Qing Dynasty lacquered red double-eaved hipped-roof incense box. This lacquerware is exquisitely crafted and demonstrates the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. In addition to static exhibits, the exhibition also arranges a number of interactive activities and workshops. You can make sachets by yourself and experience how the ancients used incense to repel insects, eliminate filth, and nourish the body and mind. There are also sound healing workshops by singing bowl instructors, which allow you to release stress and feel inner peace while being surrounded by both aroma and sound. This exhibition is not only a feast for the eyes and nose, but also a journey of cultural and historical exploration. Whether you are interested in traditional Chinese culture or simply want to find a place to relax your mind, the "Search for Fragrance" at the Hong Kong Museum of Art is not to be missed! Plan your trip now and have a date with fragrance! The exhibition will last until October 16. Remember to buy tickets in advance to avoid missing this rare cultural feast. #Hong Kong Museum of Art #Searching for Fragrance
