This exhibition is the result of significant collaboration: six leading cultural institutions in China were involved. Visitors will be able to observe how the image of the horse has changed in culture—from a fierce warrior and symbol of imperial power to an important element of trade on the Silk Road.
The key exhibit of the exhibition is a rare tri-colored ceramic horse covered with a unique black glaze. This relic dates back to the Tang Dynasty, when Chinese art reached its peak. The significance of this item is hard to overstate: only two such figures have been found in China.
In addition to ancient bronze artifacts, exquisite paintings, and figurines, the organizers have also presented modern elements. A unique collection of souvenirs has been developed for museum visitors—ranging from cute toys to stylish accessories, allowing them to engage with history in an interactive format.
