It took 5 years, and the Forbidden City of Hong Kong finally came!

Author:One Time:2022.07.01

The Hong Kong Forbidden City will be officially open tomorrow,

It was built for 5 years,

It cost about HK $ 3.5 billion.

A total of 914 cultural relics went to Hong Kong,

These include 166 national treasure -level first -class cultural relics,

This is since the establishment of the Palace Museum in 1925,

One of the largest borrowings,

So that no insurance company dares to receive orders.

The architecture is designed by the local architect of Hong Kong, Yan Xunqi,

The appearance is wide and narrow, like ancient Chinese utensils,

However, it was evaluated as "dare to compliment" before it was open,

And the cultural relics that come from thousands of miles,

Some people think that it is "not exciting enough."

The highly anticipated but controversial Hong Kong Forbidden City,

What exactly is there?

We have collected 40 groups of key exhibits,

And connect to the curator Wu Zhihua,

From cultural relics to architectural design, one by one.

Edit: Tan Yibai

Starting from mid -May, a group of cultural relics have embarked on the "trip to the south" and were transported from the Beijing Palace Museum to the Forbidden City of Hong Kong.

914 precious cultural relics are "one thousand miles", and many of them have never showed the public before. In the words of the 9th exhibition hall, in the words of the curator Wu Zhihua, "great ambitions", the major categories covering the collections of the Palace Museum, including painting, bronze, ceramics, jade, seal seals, weaving embroidery, sculpture, book classics, ancient buildings, etc.

The exhibition time does not wait for three months to one year. Because of the difficulty of preservation, some exhibits need to be calculated strictly according to the number of days. How many days of the transportation process and how many days can be exhibited, it is necessary to plan accurately. After this exhibition, some cultural relics exhibits have to return to the Palace Museum for "dormant" for several years.

One: In the face of architectural disputes, can you interpret our design highlights for us?

The entire museum covers an area of 130,000 square meters, and the building is only 30,000 square meters. It is not too large compared to the Mainland museum, but it is enough in the relatively small cities in Hong Kong.

This museum was built upwards, with a total of 7 floors. It is made by Mr. Yan Xunqi, a local architect in Hong Kong. Yan Xunqi has a great experience in the design of the museum. The Guangdong Museum and the Yunnan Provincial Museum are modern style buildings created by traditional culture.

This time, in order to build the Hong Kong Forbidden City, he visited the Forbidden City of Beijing five times, hoping to establish association between the two. At first I participated in this project and talked to him. What kind of Forbidden City should we build in Hong Kong?

The Forbidden City of Beijing is a cultural heritage, and then the Taipei Palace Museum was completed in 1965, and the style is closer to the palace. We feel that we should have our own architectural characteristics, which can reflect the characteristics of the integration of Chinese and Western culture in Hong Kong.

Therefore, its industrial style is relatively heavy, of course, there are some local elements in Hong Kong. The overall is tilted, and the upper and lower are small, so its sound can be surrounded, and the air flow is better. It is a great advantage for preserving the collection.

Its most important concept is the concept of the central axis of the Forbidden City, putting the concept of plane into a three -dimensional building.

There are three large atriums that connect the entire pavilion space, just like the Taihe Gate and Taihe Hall, all the way up. After reading a exhibition hall, to the atrium, and then to the next exhibition hall. The three atriums are connected to the outdoor space. The first atrium is east, and the city landscape can be seen; the second atrium goes south to see the entire Hong Kong Island; island.

In addition, everyone talks about the most shapes. In fact, it is not designed by rumors.

The gate refers to the doors with nail holes in the Forbidden City, mainly gold and vermilion. In order to show the traces of the time accumulation of the Palace Museum in Beijing for hundreds of years, Yan Xunqi also specifically chose "weather -resistant steel" as the material of the wall, which will naturally oxidize over time, which is similar to being an old old. the concept of.

It may feel relatively new in it. The smallpox is made of aluminum. Referring to the shape of the Liuli tiles of the Forbidden City, it becomes a dynamic smallpox. It seems that the feeling of the bead chain on the clothes is very beautiful in the atrium after the sky light comes in.

This is not a purely satisfying building.

This is a place to display cultural relics. The function is even more important. It provides a comfortable environment. It is enough to cooperate to appreciate the cultural relics. Because there are many famous museums looking for a well -known architect, the architecture itself is artwork, which is restricted to placing cultural relics exhibits.

The Forbidden City cultural relics have great requirements for light, so it also limits the use of natural light in architecture.

One: How difficult is the transportation process of more than 900 cultural relics?

This is the first time that after the establishment of the Palace Museum in 1925, so many cultural relics are transported out of the exhibition, and it is indeed that our pressure is very great. The entire transportation process was almost two months, and the impact of the epidemic also brought a lot of difficulties, and every day was busy. Originally, I hope to be a gift on the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong. It is very lucky to be able to open the museum on time and smoothly.

The insurance premiums of these exhibits may be the most expensive in the world. No insurance company in the world dares to independently undertake this sky -high policy, and can only gather multiple companies to jointly underwriting.

More than 200 showcases are also global bidding. In the end, they were handed over to an Italian company. The British Museum, Metropolitan Museum and the Show Cabinet of the Louvre were all made by them. This time, they specially produced exhibition cabinets for the cultural relics of the Forbidden City of Hong Kong. They did not reflect and high transparency, and also provided very high standards for the protection of cultural relics.

One: In addition to the exhibition space, is there any multi -functional place for viewers to use? Is it just the "attachment" of the Forbidden City of Beijing?

In addition to the 8,000 -square -meter exhibition hall, there is also a large space called the Palace Museum, which is a 1600 square meter education center. In addition, there is a lecture hall with 400 seats, which is the largest in all museums in Hong Kong.

I believe that many viewers may accompany their family, wives, and husbands to see the cultural relics. They are not so interested in the traditional artistic form, but we also hope that he can have a novel experience and be interested in the cultural relics of the Forbidden City. For example, in the Forbidden City School, there will be some activities about "cultural relics repair", which is very close to the people's lives. In recent years, we have also discovered that everyone hopes to participate in cultural relics repair experience in recent years.

Outside the museum, there is a large art park and lawn. In the future, we will plan the Lantern Festival every year to do the Lantern Festival lanterns. I hope that the audience can actively move the brain and move their eyes to participate in the understanding and innovation of cultural relic culture.

The Hong Kong Palace Museum is not the attachment to the Palace Museum in Beijing. Exhibits around the world may rely on this platform.For example, the Louvre collections in the opening exhibition are also worth looking forward to.Next year, we have a cooperation exhibition with the Cartier Foundation, which will design the 20th century women as the theme, so in addition to the theme of the Forbidden City, we will definitely have a dialogue between civilizations in different worlds.It is built in the best place in Hong Kong now. Western Kowloon Cultural District, walking for five minutes is the M+Museum just built last year. It only takes 10 minutes from the high -speed rail station to our museum.In the future, the Greater Bay Area is very convenient to come over in the Mainland.
