Elegant Sounds: Music, Craft, and the Literati
Exhibitions In-Museum Admission to Permanent Galleries
From 23 May 2025
This exhibition explores the evolution, symbolism, and role of the qin in Chinese culture through objects dating from the Han dynasty to the 20th century. Recordings by Dr Kee Chee Koon bring the qin to life, and a video by master craftsman Ning Qunhui reveals how the unique voice of each instrument is created.
