before talking about the exhibits
would like to give 100 likes to
the interior design and
architecture of the Museum
the design of space itself is a form of art
simple yet sophisticated
the museum is housed in
the China Pavilion for Expo 2010
it was the most expensive
pavilion at the Expo,
costing an estimated US$220 million
it is now the largest museum in Asia
the 63-metre high pavilion,
the tallest structure at the Expo,
is dubbed "the Crown of the East"
due to its resemblance to an ancient crown
the building was designed by
a team led by architect He Jingtang,
who were inspired by the
Chinese corbel bracket “dougong” 斗拱
as well as the ancient
bronze cauldron “ding” 鼎
and from the logo of the Museum
yup.. the shape resembles the word “華”
in traditional Chinese character
essentially means Chinese
(contemporary Chinese, you mean?)
let’s walk
and the usage of lightning and paint
for the individuals zones
somehow co-respond to
“supposedly” the sentiment of
the particular artworks
