CEA Event - Visit to 'Stories on Chinese Porcelain'

  • SIB Amsterdam 170 Nieuwe Achtergracht Amsterdam, NH, 1018 WV Netherlands (map)

Did you know that the word China refers to both the country and porcelain? On 10th December (Friday) at 1:00 PM, we will visit the Chinese Cultural Center in the Hague to get to know both Chinas!

 

Chinese folktales are common for the Chinese but not so familiar for Western people. On Chinese porcelain, these stories are depicted and used as decoration, serving as an essential medium for cultural exchange between China and the Netherlands in the past.


We will view a selection of around 50 pieces of magnificent porcelain (with stories) from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). If this arouses your curiosity, you can sign up here https://forms.gle/bTRUoPic64DQkxoEA  


After the visit, we will have some drinks at a nearby bar that will be announced later.
