About the Exhibition: “The Ways in Patterns: An Immersive Digital Exhibition from the Palace Museum”

“The Ways in Patterns: An Immersive Digital Exhibition from the Palace Museum” is the

first thematic in-gallery multimedia exhibition jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace

Museum (HKPM) and the Palace Museum. Themed around “patterns” and grounded in the concept of “immersion”, the exhibition draws traditional patterns from the Palace Museum’s architecture, ceramics, and textiles, reimagining them through innovative digital technology.

This approach presents the rich cultural meanings behind traditional Chinese patterns

alongside contemporary artistic interpretations, inviting the audience to experience the charm of traditional Chinese culture from a fresh perspective. The exhibition is exclusively sponsored by the Institute of Philanthropy, runs from 14 May to 13 October 2025 in Gallery 7 at the HKPM.
