<UCL:Youth Museum Professionals Training Programme>
This programme aims to facilitate young people to understand the historical significance and social functions of museums in an immersive museum environment. Through a series of diverse activities, students will be introduced to the curatorial mindset, how technology assists in curating, and experience the process of planning a small online exhibition. From this, students will develop skills in making choices, organisation, expression, and collaboration. In addition to expanding their horizons, the experiences will contribute significantly to their personal development.

The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, is honoured to present 𝘉𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘰 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴: 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴, 𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, a major exhibition offering an overview of the finest achievements of bamboo art in East Asia. The expansive yet meticulously curated selection prompts a reassessment of the central role played by continental prototypes, or Karamono (唐物, literally ‘Tang things’ or ‘Chinese things’), in the remarkable development of Japanese basketry over the past 150 years. Supported by two visionary collectors, this exhibition marks the first time that Chinese and Japanese baskets are being presented side by side in Hong Kong.
The display of bamboo baskets encompasses more than 200 objects that illustrate a wide range of weaving techniques, tracing the evolution of early Ming and Qing dynasty vessels to their influence on Edo period artefacts and the innovative development of contemporary kogei. Focused on the transfer of knowledge and the preservation of long-practiced bamboo weaving techniques, the exhibition also explores the cultural context of the traditional tea ceremony and the related art of ikebana flower arrangement. Together, the exhibition documents the handcrafted creation of some of East Asia’s finest decorative arts and celebrates a significant form of intangible cultural heritage, still perfected by family workshops that have passed down their skills through generations.
This exhibition relies on exemplary loans from both the Naej Collection in Germany and the Muwen Tang Collection in Hong Kong, and is supported by the HKU Museum Society.
香港大學美術博物館欣然呈獻「竹藝巧編——中式古韻和式新編」展覽，全面展現東亞竹編藝術的偉大成就。精心策展的選材廣泛多樣，旨在重新審視過去150年來，來自中原的竹籃原型，或唐物（意指「中國的器物」）在日本竹編藝術非凡發展中所扮演的核心角色。本展覽獲得兩位饒富遠見的收藏家慷慨支持，讓中國和日本的竹藝品首次在香港同場展出。
展覽涵蓋200多件竹編器物，不僅展現了豐富的編織技藝，也追溯了明清早期竹器的演變。展示它們對江戶時代竹藝品的影響，以至當代工藝的創新發展。內容以竹編藝術的知識傳授和技藝傳承為重點，同時亦探討傳統日本茶道與花道藝術相關的文化脈絡。展覽記錄了東亞裝飾藝術一些最匠心獨運的巧手創作，同時頌揚這項重要的非物質文化遺產至今仍得到竹藝世家世代傳承，精益求精。
這次展覽承蒙德國Naej收藏及香港沐文堂收藏借出展品，並獲香港大學博物館學會的支持。
