Discover how flowers have inspired generations of artists across East and Southeast Asia through a display of floral-themed objects from the Museum’s collection, shown alongside the work of contemporary artists and makers.
Experience Hiroko Imada’s cherry blossom forest installation Sakura Saku 桜咲く. Discover Wen-Hsi Harman’s ceramic sculpture Rose Petals, a reflection on the distance between her two homes, Taiwan and Britain. See traditional brush painting by Ieong Tong Pak, and work by the internationally exhibited artist, Lihong Bai. A seasonal display of paper flowers crafted for In Bloom by Kristen Kong from the Campbell Workshop and prints on loan from the Muban Educational Trust complete the exhibition.
From September, the exhibition will take on a seasonal shift. A new selection of Autumn/Winter floral-themed objects from the Museum’s collection will be showcased, offering a fresh take on floral and plant themes through the colder months. While much of the contemporary artworks remain, the paper flower installation by Kristen Kong (The Campbell Workshop) will evolve to reflect the changing seasons. Visitors can also continue to enjoy the immersive beauty of Hiroko Imada’s Sakura Saku 桜咲く, a standout experience not to be missed.
