Dunhuang, a pivotal hub along the ancient Silk Road, is renowned worldwide for its rich cultural heritage. The murals within the Dunhuang Caves depict scenes of daily life, rare treasures and figures ranging from officials to common folk. These portrayals encapsulate the ancient society, showcasing the multicultural tapestry of Dunhuang as an important stop on the Silk Road and offering a glimpse into the social landscape of the past. This roving exhibition uses panels to showcase the exquisite murals from the Dunhuang Caves, recreating the rich tapestry of life during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It guides audiences to explore the splendour of a millennium past, immersing themselves in Dunhuang art and the openness and prosperity of Sui and Tang society.
The exhibition is also one of the activities in the Chinese Culture Promotion Series. The LCSD has long been promoting Chinese history and culture through organising an array of programmes and activities to enable the public to learn more about the broad and profound Chinese culture.
