Heard the buzz about choosing between orange or blue? No need to decide, we’ve got both in one iconic piece! Introducing the ultimate “Pro” — “Charger:dragons” from the UMAG collection 🐉

This striking porcelain charger features a powerful dragon motif in vivid orange, set against dynamic waves in underglaze blue, a stunning contrast that’s as eye catching as any new phone release ✨

Crafted at the renowned Jiang kiln in Jingdezhen, this work draws inspiration from imperial porcelain traditions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the celebrated styles of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong. Jiang kiln pieces not only inherit the elegance and grandeur of court porcelain, but also bring a modern twist to their colors and techniques.

Which colour would you pick—or are you “team dragon” all the way? Let us know below!

聽說你在「橙」與「藍」之間抉擇？不用糾結，這份藏品一次滿足你的選擇！來認識我們的「Pro」——來自UMAG館藏的《大盤: 礬紅龍紋海水》🐉

這件藏品以鮮亮的橙紅色描繪生動的龍騰戲水，周圍則以青花釉下藍描繪翻湧浪濤，色彩強烈對比如同近期科技新品般吸睛✨

該盤產自景德鎮江窯，其製作工藝傳承了明清御窯瓷器的精髓，重點仿燒清代康熙、雍正、乾隆三朝的彩瓷。宮廷瓷器藝術品特有的氣質，並同時在用彩、技法上加添現代新意，煥發出獨特魅力。

你是「藍」色派，還是「橙」色派？還是早已和我們一樣，選擇「龍派」？歡迎留言分享你的心頭好！ ...

Welcome back to campus and happy new semester! 🎉📚

Last Friday, we kicked off the academic year with a fantastic party for our Museum Studies family. It was great to see so many new faces—this year, our community is stronger than ever with 80 Museum Studies students joining us!

Did you know? The MA in Museum Studies Program has a unique and close relationship with the UMAG. Many classes take place right inside the museum, giving students hands-on opportunities to study art objects, learn in gallery spaces, and gain insights into museum operations. Several courses are taught by UMAG’s curators and museum professionals, meaning students benefit from both academic expertise and real-world experience. ✏️

For more information, please refer to the MA in Museum Studies website, link in bio! 🔗

Here’s to a great year of discovery, learning, and creativity. Good luck to all for the semester ahead—UMAG is always here for curious minds and new adventures! 💫 ...

✨ “I have come to attune myself to the feelings of bamboo. By working in a way that does not burden it, as if asking for its cooperation, I sense the possibility of a natural form emerging.” — Hayakawa Shōkosai V (1932–2011)

Designated as a Living National Treasure in Japan, Hayakawa Shōkosai V was renowned for his mastery of craft and his deeply perceptive artistry. His ‘Morning Glory’ Flower Basket (ca. 1965–1977) perfectly embodies this insight—through its delicate knots, parallel-line construction, and the family’s traditional dyeing techniques, bamboo is transformed into a harmonious expression of nature and art.

This work was also given new life during the exhibition’s opening ceremony, adorned with fresh flowers to welcome guests with grace and sentiment. 🌸🎋

✨ 「我逐漸學會傾聽竹子的心意。盡量不讓它承受負擔，彷彿拜托竹子地創作，自然作品的形態便由此而生。」 —— 五代早川尚古齋（1932–2011）

日本「人間國寶」五代早川尚古齋，以深厚的工藝與敏銳的心境著稱。他的《輪曉（牽牛花）》花籃（約1965–1977）正體現了這份洞察——透過精緻的編結、平行結構，以及承襲家族傳統的染色技藝，將竹材的自然與藝術融為一體。

此件作品亦於本展覽開幕禮中，以鮮花再次被賦予生命，清雅迎賓，寄寓深情。🌸🎋
