5.18 International Museum Day
This theme seeks to underscore that museums are vital contributors to community well-being, a better quality of life, and sustainable social development—ranging from supporting global climate action and fostering social inclusion to bridging societal divides and enhancing mental health. Starting May 9, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall in Fuzhou will host a series of themed events, creating a vibrant cultural‑museum atmosphere while offering the public an enriched cultural experience.
Under the moonlight and lantern glow, Tang Xianzu’s operatic heritage converges with other time-honored Chinese cultural traditions—such as intangible cultural heritage—in the elegant, tranquil gardens of Jiangnan. You can immerse yourself in an ancient‑style literary gathering, savor the timeless opera masterpiece “A Dream Within a Garden,” listen to a master of the guqin perform the Kunqu aria “A Dream Within a Garden,” watch a Hanfu fashion show, learn traditional Chinese flower arranging, and sample the art of Song‑dynasty tea preparation. Audience and performers engage on the spot, journeying together through time to behold the splendor and brilliance of Chinese culture.
