Don’t seek the source because of fishing boats, and try to know the immortals (family) and avoid the world. The green rain flows through the clouds and the jade cave, and the sun protects the jade platform. I made an appointment with my old couple in the mountains and asked me to come back to have a drink in spring. “Showing that the painter’s work borrows the allusion from “The Peach Blossom Land” and describes the scene in the Taohua Creek area of Luofu Mountain in spring.

The museum has a good collection and better exhibition
After an extremely extraordinary year, the spring of 2021 is even more exciting. The Guangzhou Art Museum, which is about to be relocated, has held the “Spring” theme painting exhibition for the spring theme of the Ming and Qing dynasties as its first exhibition of the year, which is of great significance.
The exhibition basically follows the curatorial ideas of setting themes, integrating collections, and discovering stories, and fully mobilizes the fine paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties collected by itself and its brother institutions.
The current exhibition format is increasingly focusing on experience. For this reason, all major organizations have spent a lot of effort and effort on the layout of the exhibition. In this exhibition, the organizer intends to set up various forms of presentation effects in the exhibition hall to enhance the audience’s exhibition experience.
In the era of multimedia, content is still king. Whether in the professional field or in the eyes of the public, the core elements of the exhibition are still the exhibition and the curator’s interpretation and knowledge production of exhibits.
The predecessor of the Guangzhou Art Museum is one of the earliest art museums in New China in 1957 – Guangzhou Art Museum. The site of the Guangzhou Art Museum is located in the Zhongyuan Building, a famous building on the Yuexiu Mountain. It was later moved to the current location of the Guangzhou Art Museum on the foot of Baiyun Mountain and on the banks of Luhu Lake in the northern part of the city. Its main collection is donated by a group of important predecessors from the Lingnan cultural circle. It is also these batches of donations and collections that have made the treasures and treasures of the Guangzhou Art Museum a gathering of treasures and treasures, becoming an indispensable corner of the Guangzhou City Cultural Map.
In recent years, large institutions such as Guangdong Public Museums and Art Museums have achieved many remarkable results in the excavation and research of collections, and are at the forefront of the country and are eye-catching. We must have a good collection and a good exhibition to serve the public. Collection research and display is one of the biggest differences between public institutions and private collections. As Li Wenru, former vice president of the Palace Museum, once said in an interview with a reporter: Letting more people see the museum’s collections is the greatest patriotism.
