The Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is currently presenting the exhibition \u201cAmazing Clay: Masterpieces from the Ceramic Collection of CUHK Art Museum\u201d. Members of the public are welcome to visit.<\/p>\r\n
This exhibition features over 100 carefully selected pieces from the Museum\u2019s collection, from Neolithic pottery to ceramics from the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering a period of over 7,000 years. The curatorial team aims to provide a comprehensive showcase of the history and cultural significance of Chinese ceramics, providing tangible material that can be used for university teaching and allowing visitors to gain insights into the development of ancient civilisations and history through the lens of ceramic artefacts. Highlights include a Neolithic pottery vase with a painted wave design, a pillow in the shape of a reclining child, a mallet vase with celadon glaze, a blue-and-white plate with lotus pond scene from the Yuan dynasty, and a set of cups with a chicken design in doucai <\/em>painted enamels.<\/p>\r\n As a university institution, the Art Museum has been acquiring the ceramics as one of its primary collecting interests since it was founded in 1971, and attaches great importance to using the collection effectively and appropriately. In addition to collecting artefacts with research value to facilitate academic study, as well as for in-house projects, it has established an archive of specimens from different periods for teaching purposes. Thanks to generous support and donations over the years, the Museum has been able to build up a remarkable collection of ceramics. At this special exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to explore over 100 carefully selected pieces, which represent a stunning overview of the history and the cultural significance of Chinese ceramics from the perspectives of technology, culture and inter-civilisation exchange.<\/p>\r\n At the same time, the Art Museum is also running the special exhibition \u201cCelebrating the Year of the Dragon\u201d, featuring over 50 objects from the Museum\u2019s collection to explore the iconography of the dragon in ancient Chinese art against the socio-cultural contexts of different times.<\/p>\r\n Exhibition details<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\r\n Amazing Clay: Masterpieces from the Ceramic Collection of CUHK Art Museum<\/p>\r\n Period:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n From 2 February 2024<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n Venue:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n Gallery II, CUHK Art Museum<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n Opening hours:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n Please visit the Art Museum\u2019s website<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n Enquiries:<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n 3943 7416<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n
