Threads Across China – A Journey Through Culture at the Kadoorie Gallery 🧵🌏

#hellohalloween Stepping into the Kadoorie Gallery of Chinese Minority Nationalities’ Art at the Shanghai Museum felt like traveling across China without ever leaving the room. Each display represents a different region — from the misty mountains of Yunnan to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and from the desert edges of Xinjiang to the lush valleys of Guizhou. 🌾🏔️ The traditional garments and textiles reflect not only the local climates but also the spirit of the people — rich blues from the Miao, dazzling silvers from the Yi, and earthy tones from Tibetan weavers. Every fabric seemed to carry the scent of its homeland, stitched with pride and memory. 📍 Shanghai Museum, 201 Renmin Avenue, Huangpu District 🚇 How to get there: Metro Line 1, 2, or 8 → People’s Square Station, Exit 1 🕰️ Best time to go: Early afternoon, when the natural light brings the colors alive 🌞 It’s more than an exhibition — it’s a living map of China’s diversity, woven together in threads that connect stories from every corner of the land. ❤️
