[Rescheduled] [Lecture] The World Is Full of Signs. The Rediscovery of Iconography

Are you aware of the symbols and signs used to convey stories? Have you ever thought of such awareness is linked to the understanding of ancient mythologies?
This #InternationalMuseumDay2025, join UMAG for an eye-opening lecture ‘The World Is Full of Signs: Rediscovering Iconography’

In this talk, Harald KRAEMER, art historian and exhibition curator of ‘8 times 8. stories series systems in mythology & art’, will speak about the importance of iconography and why the old stories of ethical virtue remain relevant today.

平常你有多留意故事中的象徵和符號呢？有想過這種認知取決於對古代神話有多理解嗎？

為慶祝#國際博物館日2025，港大美術博物館誠邀你參加講座：The World Is Full of Signs. The Rediscovery of Iconography。

在這次講座中，藝術史學家及「八八相乘——神話與藝術的敘述、系列、系統」展覽策展人孔慧銳將談論圖像學的重要性，及為何古老的道德故事在當代社會仍有意義。
