The exhibition <Glimpses of China from a Bygone Era> was held from 14 January to 21 March 2019 in the Wofoo Foundation Gallery of the Run Run Shaw Library, City University of Hong Kong.
The exhibition showcased treasured items dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties from the Library's Special Collection & Archive. This priceless collection gives a brief overview of Ancient China in terms of its history, society, geography, demography, travel, medicine, art and architecture. By showcasing our unique special collection, we hope to explore collaboration and facilitate discussions about Chinese history within the CityU community.
This exhibition was held to commemorate the generous donation made by Dr Joseph Lee Chung-tak 李宗德 and other book donors.
