Auspicious prints to greet our future

In addition to this exhibition, the Capital Museum and its east branch, the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing, have plans for a further 11 exhibitions this year. These will highlight efforts to trace the origins of Chinese civilization, exchange and mutual learning between world civilizations, and Beijing culture, according to Tan Xiaoling, deputy director of the Capital Museum.

With this year marking the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, Tan says the Capital Museum plans to work with Singapore's Peranakan Museum and Asian Civilisations Museum on co-hosting an exhibition from May to August on the material and spiritual legacies overseas Chinese have left in Southeast Asia.
