YUAN MING YUAN – Art and Culture of an Imperial Garden-Palace
20 March - 12 August
EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM) is delighted to present its new special exhibition “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: YUAN MING YUAN—Art and Culture of an Imperial Garden-Palace” from 20 March 2024 through 12 August 2024. The exhibition is jointly organised by the HKPM, the Palace Museum, and the Yuanmingyuan Administration Office of Haidian District of Beijing, and solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
Following the success of the HKPM’s opening exhibitions in 2022, this major special exhibition once again draws from the magnificent Palace Museum collection. With a unique curatorial approach, this exhibition showcases the former glory of the imperial garden Yuanming yuan, known as the “Garden of All Gardens”, and sheds light on Qing court history, life, and art as lived within the garden. It features more than 190 precious treasures, including paintings, calligraphy, ceramics, architectural models, drawings, and prints. They are invaluable relics which help us understand Yuanming yuan after its destruction. Almost all the exhibits are on display in Hong Kong for the first time.
