M ANY Chinese museums and galleries have taken the spotlight in recent years for not only their ancient heritage and contemporary art collections, but also their cutting-edge cultural products. Souvenirs that perfectly combine cultural elements and the functions in daily life with funny and cute design will immortalize your visit forever. “Art & Design Tracks: The Second Cultural and Creative Design Exhibition in Shenzhen” being held at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum is showcasing cultural and creative products designed by local companies and designers, some of which are inspired by cultural relics preserved in local museums and artworks collected by local art organizations. “These products have brought ancient and contemporary cultures closer to people. The exhibition, which was inaugurated last year, records the cultural and creative design development in Shenzhen, displays Shenzhen’s charm as the City of Design, incorporates art into people’s lives and brings beauty back to our lives,” said Chen Xiangbo, director of the Guan Shanyue Art Museum. As part of the city’s Creative December event, the exhibition presents eight key concepts, namely art, cultural and creative, crossover, humanities, science and technology, fashion, trendy, and environmental protection.
