FTA Exhibition Goings - The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Fragrance of Time — In Search of Chinese Art of Scent

*Registration Deadline：2024. 10. 3*

The Chinese fragrance culture has a profound and extensive history. For thousands of years, fragrances have permeated through studies, chambers, palaces and temples, serving as both a medium for worshiping ancestors and deities, and as a means to enrich the daily lives of ancient people while facilitating their spiritual pursuits.

Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Shanghai Museum, solely sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, this exhibition, as a Chinese Culture Festival and Shanghai Culture Week event, presents Chinese fragrance culture in all its splendour and diversity. 160 sets of artefacts from both museums, spanning from the Neolithic period to the Qing dynasty, are showcased. By taking the audience on an olfactory journey across thousands of years, this exhibition allows visitors to experience the enduring appeal and wholesome effects of fragrances as our ancient forbears did.
