Hong Kong Palace Museum

The art of papercutting is a folk craft deeply rooted in the Chinese history. Its appeal lies in the meticulous manipulation between positive and negative space, giving a feast for the eyes. Through experimenting simple papercutting and design techniques first hand, you will discover the intriguing patterns and new ways of interpreting their meanings behind the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui.

A hands-on session of papercutting, inspired by the special exhibition "Gazing at Sanxingdui: New Archaeological Discoveries in Sichuan". Papercuts of artefact—the bronze mythical creature will reveal mysteries behind the culture of ancient Shu.
Customised stencils will be provided for creating papercuts like no other; learning the traditional culture through an innovative and fun approach.
Admission to the special exhibition "Gazing at Sanxingdui: New Archaeological Discoveries in Sichuan".*
