Members of the public are welcome to visit.<\/p>\r\n<p>The exhibition features over 50 objects from the Museum\u2019s collection, including jades, bone carving, gold and bronze, ceramics, stone carvings, textiles, scholars\u2019 stationery and rubbings. Exhibit highlights include a Western Han Dynasty turquoise seal that inspired the Museum\u2019s emblem, an annular white jade box with a dragon design dated from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song, as well as a dragon brush-holder created by the legendary ceramic designer Tang Ying (1682-1756).<\/p>\r\n<p>2024 is the Year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac. For almost 8,000 years, the mythological beast has garnered immense reverence and admiration from people. Contrary to common understanding, rather than constant and unchanging, the image of the dragon has evolved arbitrarily, as recorded in literature. Celebrating the year of this powerful creature, the Art Museum presents this exhibition to explore the iconography of the dragon in ancient Chinese art against the socio-cultural contexts of different times.<\/p>\r\n<p>Starting from 2 February 2024, the Art Museum will also launch a special exhibition \u201cAmazing Clay: Masterpieces from the Ceramic Collection of CUHK Art Museum\u201d. This exhibition features over 100 selected pieces, offering a stunning overview of the history and cultural significance of Chinese ceramics.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><u>Exhibition details<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em>Celebrating the Year of the Dragon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<table width=\"561\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"144\">\r\n<p>Period:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"417\">\r\n<p>From 2 February 2024 to 31 July 2024<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"144\">\r\n<p>Venue:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"417\">\r\n<p>Gallery II, CUHK Art Museum<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"144\">\r\n<p>Opening hours:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"417\">\r\n<p>Please visit the Art Museum\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artmuseum.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/visit\/opening\/\">website<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"144\">\r\n<p>Enquiries:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td width=\"417\">\r\n<p>3943-7416<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<p><strong>Please download exhibition photos from <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3O0XRTo\"><strong>https:\/\/bit.ly\/3O0XRTo<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong><\/p>","show_as_achievement":false,"achievement_category":[],"show_as_clarification":false,"show_as_announcement":false,"photos":[{"photo":169503,"caption":"Poster for the exhibition \u201cCelebrating the Year of the Dragon\u201d"},{"photo":169505,"caption":"Double-sided turquoise seal \r\nWestern Han Dynasty\r\nGift of Bei Shan Tang\r\nAcc.
