the "Home of Acrobats", boasts acrobatic arts,
a gem of Eastern art.
The Hebei Museum and Art Exhibitions China remain committed to upholding Chinese cultural heritage, fostering cultural confidence, maintaining tradition while innovating, and embracing openness and inclusiveness. By sharing China's stories and voices, they contribute to the preservation and promotion of traditional Chinese culture and facilitate exchanges between civilizations.
By connecting Chinese acrobatics with modern Olympics, the exhibition showcases how civilizations inspire
and illuminate each other, so
that even across vast distances, cultural exchange can bring people closer.
The exhibition will continue
until August 6, 2024.
