Bun in the Cave
   Introduction

Amidst endless heaps of sand a mirage appears: Dunhuang.

There a comedy-fantasy-thriller awaits you.
Although their ancestry was untraceable, their lineage was strong, as resilient as poplars that survived a millennium. This oasis was an ideal habitat …

Sediments have buried the lives therein after 3000 years. When Xuanzang dropped by on his journey to the west, he saw a bleak, barren landscape that barely saw a bird or beast. All he could see beyond the desert winds were remains of civilizations past …

Another 3000 years went by. Shifting sands submerged everything. Nothing else exists except those crumbling murals in the grottoes. Someone else arrives from the West, eager to retrace the path of Xuanzang …

珍品及當代藝術品展


今次展出的「五台山化現圖」是敦煌壁畫中畫面最大的一幅五台山圖,是敦煌三大佛教歷史畫之一。此圖用山水畫形式全方位展示中國山西五台山的各種佛教聖?、佛寺和登山朝聖的香客。
壁畫原圖由牆壁所覆蓋,遊客難以窺見其全貌。今次展出「五台山化現全圖」將壁畫重現,必定讓大家歎為觀止。
參觀者更可走進一座模擬重建的敦煌石窟,體驗敦煌石窟的富麗世界。此外,展覽亦會展出四位當代藝術家啟發自絲路的創意作品,包括黃麗貞創作的「波斯波利斯的詩篇」、何兆基的「聖光」、陳思光的「藏」及李天倫的阿彌陀佛,為大家嶄新的體驗。
