Treasures of Ancient China – The Age of Jade Emperors (Móra Ferenc Museum) – CLOSED!
A special exhibition can be seen in the Móra Ferenc Museum. At the exhibition "Treasures of Ancient China - The Age of the Jade Emperors", we present original ancient Chinese objects that illustrate everyday life, burial customs, rulers, and visitors can also get to know the nomadic peoples who lived on the border of China. The outstanding artefact of the exhibition is the jade armor of the dead monarch, which was assembled from 1,460 pieces of jade with gold threads.
Another international exhibition has opened in the Móra Ferenc Museum. At the exhibition "Treasures of Ancient China - The Age of the Jade Emperors", visitors can "adventure" in ancient China. The exhibition presents original, ancient Chinese objects that came from Shanghai thanks to a Chinese museum collaboration, as well as special objects from the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asian Art.
Among the works of art, we also find special utility and ornamental objects, amulets, and unique objects used at funerals. Perhaps the most impressive piece of the collection is a royal jade death armor: the armor made of jade plates strung together with gold threads offers a wonderful sight, which was assembled from a total of 1,460 jade plates with the help of gold threads.
Many fascinating objects have arrived in Szeged from the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asian Art. Among them we can find beautiful verets, belt, bridle and dress ornaments, cauldrons from the Hun period, as well as a brick of the Great Wall of China.
In the space in front of the exhibition, a giant digital touch wall, the Magic Wall, is also waiting for those interested, where visitors can get to know the objects and curiosities of ancient China in an exciting way.
Extended until January 7, 2024!
