Founded in 1925, the Palace Museum is a large comprehensive museum built on the basis of the Forbidden City and its collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is also the largest and most intact ancient palace complex in the world, with a collection of more than 1.86 million pieces of cultural relics.
Walking into the Forbidden City, you can see exquisite patterns everywhere, whether on the eaves, walls, doors and windows of the palace buildings, or in the furniture, utensils and clothing displayed in the exhibition halls. The Chinese use patterns with various forms and rich meanings to decorate their daily lives, reflecting their love and respect for nature and life, gathering the essence of traditional craftsmanship, and interpreting their persistent pursuit of beautiful things. Patterns carry the aesthetic taste and cultural spirit of the Chinese people, and have been affecting the lives of the public today.
This exhibition is themed "Pattern of the Forbidden City". By extracting patterns from palace architecture, ceramics, and embroidery, combined with innovative digital technology, it presents the cultural connotations behind the patterns. Let us explore the colorful and wonderful patterns of the Forbidden City in the digital world, and feel the endless charm of China's excellent traditional culture.
The exhibition is co-organized by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum, and sponsored by the Institute of Public Welfare and Charity.
