Movie posters are precious collectibles. Movie posters from different eras are used to show the evolution of society, people's livelihood, culture and art in China and HKSAR. A time journey of historical and emotional memories. The exhibition features a rare collection of old Chinese movie posters from the 1950s to the 1990s, reflecting the history of movies released in the mainland after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It seems travailing through different eras and understands the people's livelihood, trends, social and economic conditions at that time.
