China has a rich cultural heritage with a vast history spanning thousands of years. The use of symbolism is intrinsic to Chinese culture, and influences its art and the practice of gift giving.
The use of symbols in art is more than just an attractive embellishment, the symbols and motifs that appear on Chinese decorative arts often represent hidden meanings that communicate a desire for success and good fortune.
Through looking at a diverse range of objects from North Down Museum’s Sir John Newell Jordan collection, the exhibition will explore a variety of these symbols and their hidden meaning.
