Asian Wonders -- Art Exhibition of ASEAN

ASEAN is short for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It includes ten member countries: Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the establishment of China-ASEAN Dialogue Relationship, China's Ministry of Culture will hold "ASEAN Culture Week" during the 8th AAF. And the "Asian Wonders - Art Exhibition of ASEAN" is a highlight of the week.

The ASEAN countries boast their own centuries-old cultural traditions and unique features in terms of style, forms, language, and aesthetic and artistic conceptions. The "Asian Wonders - Art Exhibition of ASEAN" aims to exhibit the glorious culture and art wonders created by ASEAN peoples. It will exhibit various textiles, lacquer works, costumes, woodcarvings, folk toys, potteries and porcelains, gold and sill wares, shadow plays, knitting works, embroideries, and masks, which best represent the traditions and cultures of each ASEAN member country.

The "Asian Wonders - Art Exhibition of ASEAN" will bring you into the splendid artistic world of ASEAN peoples. It's not only an aesthetic enjoyment, but also inspires the thinking of how to preserve the identity and diversity of indigenous cultures.
