During a special tour at Hong Kong Palace Museum before its official opening, advisor Tianlong Jiao led the designer-mentees to visit the Scholars Commons and one gallery space inside the Museum. Dr. Jiao introduced the curatorial strategy of this new museum dedicated to Chinese history and cultural heritage, shared the collection to be displayed, and answered questions from designers on the future of Hong Kong Palace Museum. The designer-mentees also learned more about the curatorial strategy of their zodiac project in juxtaposition to other contemporary interpretations on display in Scholars Commons. The visit gave the designer-mentees a better understanding of Hong Kong Palace Museum in relation to cultural heritage and innovation in the city.
