Description

Held to coincide with Hong Kong's hosting of the Equestrian Events of the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this exhibition features approximately 60 artefacts from 28 heritage institutes from 14 provinces and autonomous regions. This is the first time that many of these pieces, such as the the Qin dynasty terracotta saddled horse, the gilt bronze steed and the Qing dynasty bronze horse head from Yuanmingyuan (the Old Summer Palace in Beijing), will be displayed in Hong Kong.
