According to the Chinese zodiac, 2015 is the year of the Ram. To welcome the new lunar year, the Art Museum, the Department of Fine Arts and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) jointly present the exhibition on ‘Jubilant Rams in Chinese Culture: Celebrating the Year of the Ram’ from 6 February to 26 April 2015. Members of the public are welcome to visit the exhibition. Admission is free.
This special exhibition includes a selection of about 40 paintings, ceramic pieces, carved jade and other gemstones, all of which relate to the Ram. Beyond the Ram’s depiction in classical Chinese literature, this exhibition vividly illustrates the abundant and multifarious artistic representations of the Ram’s essence throughout Chinese culture.
