Beijing Minsheng Art Museum

1507 years ago, the towering Yongning Temple Pagoda in the great metropolis of Luoyang on the Silk Road rose from the ground - "It stands a thousand feet tall. A hundred miles from the capital, it can already be seen from afar." This Buddhist pagoda, a marvel of "exhaustive efforts in construction and the ultimate in crafting shapes," with its "treasured bells chiming in harmony, the clear ringing sound could be heard for more than ten miles." The 'inconceivable' wonder, admired by the people of the time, although it only stood for 18 years, has brought endless imagination to later generations for 1500 years. As the world changes and the seas turn to mulberry fields, the people who created the objects and art of the Silk Road, and their environment, have long since passed away, but the feelings of looking up to the earth and the stars of the ancient times are preserved through art. How can we present this precious, rich, and subtle perceptual power in a contemporary way? Come to the Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum See - The Sound of Camel Bells - The Grand Exhibition of Silk Road Art

Spanning four thousand years, it reveals the myriad beauties among the sands and stones. The sound of camel bells echoes—The Silk Road Art Exhibition Although 2024 has just begun, it can already be predicted that this is one of the most worthwhile exhibitions of the year: 🌟 The curatorial team traveled 100,000 miles, negotiated with hundreds of cultural institutions, inspected 10,000 cultural relics, and ultimately selected more than 400 exhibits 🌟 The entire exhibition area spans three floors, reaching 6,000㎡, divided into 5 chapters, with the exhibits spanning thousands of years 🌟 It brings together the essence of seven major grottoes: Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, Kumtura Thousand Buddha Caves, Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes, and Maijishan Grottoes Some particularly impressive exhibits: 1️⃣ Felt hat from Xiaohe Cemetery 👒 Dating back about 4,000 years, it is well-preserved and even looks trendy today 😎 2️⃣ Bao Guan Tathagata Buddha seated statue The exhibit comes from a temple near Longmen, weighing 7 tons, which is a direct reflection of the curatorial team's sincerity. The Buddha statue wears a jeweled crown, decorated with right-turning conch hair, the crown is embossed with lotus treasures, auspicious clouds, etc., the whole seated statue is tall and majestic, with a strong and vigorous posture, looking down from the third floor, it is the center of the view 3️⃣ Hu people eating cake on camel figurine 🐫 The sculptor really didn't treat us as outsiders, carving out such a lifelike scene for us to see 🍽️ 4️⃣ Grottoes I got goosebumps just seeing a small piece of work from the Mogao Grottoes (the girl accompanying me is a professional painter, who repeatedly said that the use of color 🎨 is exquisite), and when I got to the second floor and saw an entire grotto moved here, I was moved to tears without realizing it 💧 The entire exhibition is worth spending a whole day at, we stayed until it was almost closing time before leaving 🌆| Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum 📅| 2024.1.13-2024.7.13 (Closed on Mondays) ⏰| 10:00-18:00 (Entry stops at 17:30) 💡| Some precious exhibits can only be displayed for 3 months due to cultural relic protection needs, so make sure to visit early

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, taking advantage of the fewer people during the New Year and half-price tickets (88 per person) and a quiz draw, I went to the Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum to see the Civilization Fusion Camel Bell Sounds - Silk Road Art Exhibition. There are four free public lectures every day, 10:30 11:30 13:30 15:30 each lecture lasts about an hour and a half I went early and caught the first lecture, which lasted an hour and a half. Like last year's Dunhuang exhibition, the exhibition hall is very dark, possibly due to the protection of cultural relics. Unlike last year's Dunhuang exhibition, where the lecturer would shine a flashlight on the places that needed to be carefully observed whenever a place was mentioned, this year's exhibition may be due to the requirements for the protection of cultural relics. Except for the copied caves that were illuminated with flashlights, the rest could not be illuminated with flashlights. The exhibits on display, mostly originals, include many Tang Dynasty and even pre-Tang silk textiles (I have to say that the preservation is really good, many of them just look a bit old, if you don't write the age, you would really think they were made in recent decades), and there are also many original fragments of murals from caves in Xinjiang. Although they are fragments of murals, the charm of Buddha is still there. In the ancient Buddha statue section, this exhibition displays many ancient Buddha statues, including those from Longmen Grottoes and Maijishan Grottoes. Many of them are not covered with glass, so you can appreciate the charm of Buddha statues up close. Some of the Buddha statues do not look like rigid sculptures, but more like living people. In the cave section, the Yulin Cave No. 29, Maijishan Cave No. 123, Kizil Cave No. 8, No. 38, and the restored Bezeklik Cave No. 15 were copied, all on a one-to-one scale. The dim light is as if you are in the original cave. The copied Yulin Cave No. 29 is permanently closed, and you are not allowed to enter the Yulin Cave. On the second floor of the exhibition hall, there is a sand painting of the Wheel of Time Mandala, which was made by several monks from Qinghai. You can appreciate the beauty of the Mandala from different angles (similar Mandala sand paintings are also available in Yonghe Palace, but you can only appreciate them from one angle).

It is said that in order to land this exhibition, the curatorial team went to the frontier in the west and the sea in the east, visited 15 provinces, autonomous regions and 35 cities, and negotiated with more than 100 cultural and museum institutions, which is really hard work.

The "Camel Bell Ringing - Silk Road Art Exhibition" has finally opened! I went at the first time, and I strolled with my friends until closing. This exhibition is really a heavy start in 2024 - 🔹The exhibition space is about 6000 square meters, with more than 500 pieces/groups of exhibits, covering painting, sculpture, image, objects, sound, image and other categories, spanning 4000 years, mainly presenting the eastern section of the Silk Road on land, from Luoyang, Chang'an to Xinjiang This area of art - The exhibition site has three floors and is divided into five chapters ✔️Sequence As soon as you enter the door, you will see a Tang Dynasty Baoguan Ru sitting statue, which is very majestic. It is a collection of the Longmen Grottoes Research Institute, and from here you will step into the art world of the Silk Road ✔️Earth In this exhibition area, a small river felt hat from Ruoqiang shocked me. Even with modern aesthetics, it feels very fashionable! Another exhibit I love is the Hu people eating cakes and riding camels, the lively rice eaters haha ✔️Human The "Lun Yu Zheng Xuan Note" by the Tang Dynasty child Bu Tianshou is particularly eye-catching, especially the limericks behind it are too cute, the child himself probably didn't expect his homework to be shown to so many people one day ✔️Sky This chapter mainly exhibits exhibits of multiple faiths along the Silk Road. The most impressive is the relief Arhat statue of the Sutra Temple. This cultural relic is a very rare overseas return product. Seeing this, I can't help but feel sad. I hope all the cultural relics drifting outside can return home ✔️Art is eternal I love the pottery figurines in this exhibition area too much, it is simply a conspicuous package meeting, very happy! The large-scale light and shadow installation "Digital Luoyang" is also here, using modern means to reproduce the Northern Wei Luoyang, super shocking - 🔹In addition to a large number of precious cultural relics along the Silk Road, the site also displays altar city sand paintings and several replica grottoes, some of which are even shou times copied - 📍｜Chaoyang District Minsheng Modern Art Museum ⏰｜2024.01.13-7.13 Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-18:00 (17:30 stop admission), closed on Monday 🎫｜168/person, 268/double - 🌟Practical Tips: 1, Self-driving can park the car in the park parking lot, there are plenty of parking spaces; 2, There is a place to store bags at the security check of the art museum, the indoor is relatively hot, thick coats and unnecessary things can be stored; 3, There are 4 free public guides every day, they are 10:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, it is recommended to follow the explanation teacher to walk first, understand the story behind the cultural relics - 🔥I am Qibao, focusing on travel|exhibition|exploration|museum, lock me, let us explore the cold and interesting corners together

Without exaggeration, this must be one of the most worthwhile exhibitions to see this year! Definitely going for a second visit! 🐫 The ancient Silk Road, where the sound of camel bells can still be heard, is a road of mutual learning among civilizations. Stretching thousands of miles and lasting for thousands of years, it has seen countless exchanges and interactions. 🐫 The 'Sound of Camel Bells - Silk Road Art Exhibition' at the Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum, the largest Silk Road art exhibition in history, collaborates with more than 60 museums and cultural art institutions at home and abroad, presenting the rich artistic landscape of the eastern section of the Silk Road, from Luoyang and Chang'an to Xinjiang. 🐫 The exhibition spans three floors, covering 6000 square meters, and displays more than 500 sets of first, second, and third grade cultural relics from over 10 provinces, autonomous regions, and 35 cities. Many of the works are making their debut in Beijing and are being exhibited to the public for the first time. 🐫 The exhibition is divided into five chapters: 'Prologue', 'Earth', 'Humanity', 'Sky', and 'Art Eternal'. The more than 500 sets of exhibits span 4000 years and cover various categories such as painting, sculpture, statuary, artifacts, sound, video, and multimedia, presenting a multi-dimensional 'Silk Road Space-Time'. Tips: ① The 'Mandala Sand Painting' presented by Xiaqiong Temple, the foremost of Qinghai's four ancient temples with a history of 700 years, is very shocking. The world's prosperity and the dance of life are but a handful of fine sand. ② Explore seven grottoes of different styles: Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, Kumtura Thousand Buddha Caves, Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes, and Maijishan Grottoes, all under one roof, which is very rare! ③ At the entrance, the 'Crown Buddha' from the early Tang Dynasty in the South Cave of the Drum Tower of Longmen Grottoes is on public display in Beijing for the first time, weighing 7 tons, it is grand and magnificent. ④ For the sake of protecting cultural relics, many exhibits are only on display for 3 months. Although the exhibition lasts until July 13, visiting earlier will allow you to see the most complete exhibition effect. ⑤ The relief of the Arhat at the Longmen Jingjing Temple, which is not only included in art history textbooks but also has a legendary experience of being stolen overseas and finally returned, is worth a careful appreciation. ⑥ Located on the third floor, the digital art work 'Digital Luoyang' presented by the Harvard University China Art Lab, lasting 7 minutes, is worth an immersive experience. ⑦ Follow the guide for a full experience of the exhibition. Call the art museum in advance to find out the guide time for the day. 🎨'Sound of Camel Bells - Silk Road Art Exhibition' 🏡Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum ⏱From now until July 13 10:00-18:00 (Closed on Mondays)

Beijing has a new exhibition, this time it is the fusion of civilizations: "The Sound of Camel Bells - The Silk Road Art Exhibition" co-organized by more than 40 museums. Location: Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum. Exhibition period: January 13 to July 13, 2024. Time: 10:00-18:00, closed on Mondays. The exhibition is divided into five chapters, showing the brilliance and changes of the Silk Road through more than 500 exhibits. The exhibits mainly include textiles, small bronze wares, gold and silver wares, pottery, Buddha statues, texts, etc. You can see many objects with exotic styles, and many works that reflect the advanced production level at that time. Although I didn't see the arm guard of the Five Stars from the East benefiting China in the Xinjiang Museum, the Changzi brocade and the pig head pattern brocade are also very beautiful. The felt hats of the Bronze Age and the colored silk shoes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty can still lead the fashion trend even now. The restoration of the seven grottoes is worth a look, after all, you can't see it at any time locally. I personally recommend Cave 29 of Yulin Grottoes, where there are more Buddha niches, and it may be better preserved in the original cave. tips:1 No water is allowed in the exhibition. 2 Each exhibit can be scanned for free explanation. 3 The exhibition hall has fixed free explanation times every day at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30.
