In Shanghai, visit Dunhuang and take your children to appreciate the aesthetic taste of our ancestors!

The much-anticipated "Why Dunhuang" Dunhuang Art exhibition has been grandly opened at the China Art Museum. This exhibition is in the form of "cultural relics + replicas of caves + murals and colored sculptures". It has mobilized a large number of representative first- and second-level precious cultural relics and copies by experts from past dynasties from the Dunhuang Academy, including cultural relics prohibited from leaving the country, and replicas of the classic Mogao Grottoes. There are 168 groups of exhibits, which are worth a visit. Although it cannot be compared with the local Dunhuang, friends who have never been there can experience the beauty of Dunhuang and the mysterious charm of Mogao Grottoes in advance without leaving Shanghai! 📍Address: China Art Museum (Shanghai Art Museum) 🕐Exhibition period: September 20, 2024 - December 20, 2024 ⌚️Time: 10:00-18:00, no admission from 17:00 🧭Navigation: No. 205 Shangnan Road, Pudong New District, Shanghai 🚉Transportation: Exit 3 of China Art Museum Station on Metro Line 8 🚗Self-driving: Parking lot🅿️Shangnan Road Parking Lot (8 yuan per hour), or the road next to Bocheng Road and Guozhan Road of China Art Museum (30 yuan per day), or the underground parking lot of Expo Park.

It is recommended to do homework in advance before visiting the exhibition: for example, older children can read "Great Dunhuang", "Hexi Corridor", "Dunhuang: Born Legendary" and "Dunhuang Painting School" in advance to learn about Dunhuang; for example, my 5-year-old child can read the picture books "Into the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang" and "Run, Nine-Colored Deer". However, my child is too young and has not done enough homework. The exhibition is too professional and not interactive enough, so he can no longer listen to the teacher when he is halfway through the lecture. At the same time, there were too many people during holidays, and the exhibition flow design and experience were not very good. However, I found that a first-grade girl in my group could actually listen to the whole thing! Therefore, visiting exhibitions must be continuous. At the beginning, children will definitely not understand or hear much, but if you persist in visiting different exhibitions and ask teachers to provide targeted explanations, children can gradually accept that "visiting exhibitions is a normal thing."
