As a highlight of 'Art March 2025', the HKPM will present the special exhibition 'A Movable Feast: The Culture of Food and Drink in China' from March 19 to June 18, 2025 in Gallery 8. Food culture is a vital component of traditional Chinese heritage, boasting a rich and diverse history. This exhibition will take the audience through a feast that traverses spiritual, cultural, and physical spaces. It explores the culinary culture and lifestyle of ancient Chinese people through the evolution of food vessels, eating practices, and traditions, presenting approximately 110 exquisite works. These objects, primarily on loan from The Palace Museum, span from the Neolithic period (c. 10000 BCE – c. 2000BCE) to the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). Additional works on display will come from the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, as well as museums in Hong Kong.
