Hong Kong Palace Museum

This workshop, designed specifically for primary and secondary students in Hong Kong, will take participants on a journey to understand the unique aesthetics, and the history and culture of traditional Chinese gardens. Students will have the opportunity to step into the shoes of a Chinese imperial architect and delve into the art of Chinese landscaping.

What students will get from this workshop:

Discover history: Gain an understanding of the historical background and architectural features of the Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City.
Get Creative: Participate in a hands-on session to design their own garden using the “borrowing scenery” technique, incorporating natural elements like plants, mountains, and water. Plus, students can take home or school their creations home or to school!
Collaborate and build: Work together to construct a large, collaborative garden under the guidance of the tutor.

Participants will also be offered free admission to all galleries (except temporarily closed ones) on the same day as the event. Please note that quota is limited, and registration will be taken on a first come, first served basis.
