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.

When you enter 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. Chinese people use patterns of various forms and rich meanings to decorate their daily lives, reflecting their love and respect for nature and life, bringing together the essence of traditional craftsmanship, and interpreting their persistent pursuit of beautiful things. The patterns carry the Chinese people's inherited aesthetic taste and cultural spirit, and continue to influence people's lives today.

This exhibition is themed "Pattern of the Forbidden City". By extracting patterns from palace architecture, ceramics, and embroidery, and combining them with innovative digital technology, it presents the cultural connotations behind the patterns. Let us explore the diversity and wonder of the Forbidden City patterns in the digital world and feel the endless charm of China's excellent traditional culture.

The exhibition is co-organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum, and sponsored by the Institute of Public Welfare and Charity.

We are a family of three and there are not many people here on weekdays. Frankly speaking, maybe I don’t have a strong sense of art and I don’t understand a lot of it. But for children to come and see it, it’s very novel for them. The museum staff are very nice, which is worth a thumbs up!
