| Description: |
With a history dating back around 3,000 years, the qin, or guqin as this Chinese zither is more commonly called today, is one of the oldest plucked musical instruments in China. The guqin ranks first among the traditional four arts of Chinese literati, along with chess, calligraphy and painting. Occupying a distinctive position in Chinese culture, the art of guqin music was designated a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO in 2003 and has thus been recognised as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. This exhibition will bring you a wonderful world of guqin music.
This exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organizing an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.

| Description: |
Conservation plays a vital role in safeguarding invaluable cultural heritage for future generations through a sustained commitment to care. This process encompasses two essential approaches: preventive and interventive conservation. The expertise of conservators extends beyond museums and is also applicable in our everyday lives, for example pest control.
Supplemented with video playback, the roving exhibition features the principles of conservation and the scope of work of a conservator. Showcasing various scientific instruments used for conservation research and analysis, and four selected case studies with many self-explanatory photos, the exhibition provides a holistic understanding of conservation to visitors in a lively and story-telling manner.
The roving exhibition also introduces common pests and useful tips for pest control at home, encouraging visitors to apply conservation practices into daily life and to raise public awareness of heritage conservation. |
