The ‘Dreaming of Dunhuang – Immersive Experience Exhibition’ combines digital technology, immersive technology, and performance to present traditional culture in a more delicate and vivid way, bringing flat content to life and making thousand-year-old culture come alive, immersing visitors in an engaging experience. The exhibition is presented in a form that combines performance and display, with the museum showcasing Dunhuang dance performances to combine the beauty of Eastern classical art with the agility of modern technology, creating an art form that is more accessible to the public and opening up a new cultural form suitable for all ages.

No. 5 Hall & No. 6 Hall – ‘Gentle Breeze’ – Qing Dynasty and Republic of China Qipao Exhibition: ‘A gentle breeze rises, and the water waves do not stir’. The rich displays of Qipao and Qipao costumes in the museum provide an immersive and imaginative viewing experience of the times.

No. 7 Hall – ‘Lasting as Mountains and Rivers’ Chinese Aesthetic Paradigm Special Exhibition: The exhibition showcases over 120 works by four great artists in the history of Chinese art, Xu Beihong, Dai Ze, Wu Guanzhong, and Zhu Danian, combining the architectural features of the venue with large hanging scroll installations. ‘The style of the gentleman lasts as long as the mountains and rivers’ comes from the ‘Record of Yan’s Ancestral Hall’ by the Northern Song Dynasty literati Fan Zhongyan, praising people’s noble character and outstanding achievements. Chinese modern art has been through more than 100 years of hard work and great changes, and Xu Beihong, Wu Guanzhong, Zhu Danian, and Dai Ze are all well-known names in the history of art. They are the creators and witnesses of Chinese modern art.

Among the four artists, Xu Beihong is the master who founded a school and promoted the development of modern Chinese art throughout his life; Dai Ze is a representative of the second generation of Chinese artists and a centenarian professor of art education; Wu Guanzhong is the representative Chinese artist of the 20th century who proposed ‘formal beauty’ and gained international fame; Zhu Danian is the pioneer of Chinese ceramic art, modern murals, and modern fine brushwork. Their artistic creations, in different content and forms, converge to enumerate and interpret what constitutes the paradigm of Chinese aesthetics. This exhibition offers a wonderful aesthetic experience to the audience through iconic artists and classic representative works in a state of great love and great beauty.

Hall 8 – ‘Tide Rising’ Contemporary Trend Art Exhibition. The roots of trend art point to Western Pop Art and Japanese anime culture, and the representative artists of these two on a global scale are Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami. The ‘Tide Rising’ – Contemporary Trend Art Exhibition organizes and displays the systematic works and personal images of outstanding world trend artists Andy Warhol and Takashi Murakami from ‘Tide Rising’, ‘Diffusion’, and ‘Localization’. It combines the multiform changes of trend art and the derivatives of local artists Shen Jingdong, Zhao Xiaoli, Zheng Yuanwu, and He Yang as the main content, adds trend markers such as violent bears and digital collections, and hopes to provide the audience with an intuitive aesthetic experience by close contact with art masters and deep participation in world art classics, telling the story of contemporary trend art in a complete manner. The increasingly vigorous trend art in China, which integrates foreign experiences, is closely related to China’s local pop culture. Regardless of the subject matter, symbols, colors, and aesthetics, it has its own Chinese characteristics. ‘He who uses a stone from others’ mountains may grind his jade’, in the context of the new era, a more open cultural vision and mind are sufficient to help the revival and take-off of Chinese culture.
