A curious tale of mystery and history
Print Edition
THE first Yangtze River Delta Museum Education Exposition opened to the public at the city’s World Expo Museum in Huangpu District over the weekend.
With the theme “Exploration to Knowledge and Excellence,” it brings in museums from throughout the Delta and has them each showcase their own regional culture, history and traditional skills. The exhibition ends tomorrow.
One of the most eye-catching contributions is from the Shanghai Museum. Following the story in a picture book made by the museum, visitors enjoy traditional handicraft skills including Lan Yin Hua, or blue floral print on cloth, bamboo-weaving, embroidery, woodcut New Year paintings, Suzhou fan-making and Jingdezhen porcelain art.
The story is about designer A Kun who receives packages of traditional handicrafts from a stranger called Xiao Lu after he moved into a new home.
Xiao travelled to many places around the country and sent things she found to the previous home-owner, who died.
These mysterious packages triggered his curiosity and prompted him to travel to the some of the places in the hope of meeting Xiao, which he eventually does.
Visitors can follow the two characters’ steps and see the objects mentioned in the book at the booth, and even how they were made.
