Shanghai Why Dunhuang Art Exhibition | Learn about history from a thousand years ago.

Step into the "Shanghai Why Dunhuang Art Exhibition" and it's as if you've entered Dunhuang a thousand years ago. The murals shine with a mysterious glow under the lights, their colors as brilliant as the sunset. The flying apsaras dance on the walls, their ribbons fluttering as if blown by the wind. The caisson patterns are exquisite, like a starry sky brought into the exhibition hall, dazzling and mesmerizing. 🗓Itinerary: - Priority for Key Exhibits: After entering the exhibition hall, first visit 6 cultural relics on display in Shanghai for the first time, including the "Northern Liang Stone Pagoda", "Mogao Grottoes Six-Character Mantra Stele", "Shengli Stele", "Northern Wei Embroidered Buddha Statue Donor", "Guiyi Army Yamen Wine Break Calendar", etc. These cultural relics have high historical and artistic value. - Visit Classic Caves: Then visit 6 replica caves of classic Mogao Grottoes, such as the Western Wei Cave 285, known as the "Pantheon of Diversity", and the Tang Dynasty Cave 45, known as the "Museum of Exquisite Statues", to experience the artistic styles and characteristics of caves from different periods. - Visit by Exhibition Chapter: The exhibition is divided into chapters such as "Silk Road · Dunhuang", "Grottoes · Pure Land", "Encounter · Library Cave", "Perseverance · Inheritance", etc. Visiting in the order of the exhibition chapters can help you better understand the development and cultural connotations of Dunhuang art.
