China in the East

China in the East is a touring exhibition with a difference. Launching at Epping Forest District Museum in July 2012, this exciting exhibition showcases the rich Chinese collections of museums in the eastern region as well as new media created by young people, inspired by these beautiful objects.

China in the East is part of Eastern Exchanges, a major festival celebrating the culture and colour of the east to mark the London 2012 Games. Eastern Exchanges is an official part of London 2012 Cultural Olympiad programme Stories of the World which presents exciting new museum exhibitions across the UK, created by young people.

For more information on Eastern Exchanges, please visit: www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/easternexchanges

 





Between January 2011 and April 2012, creative workshops will enable families, children and adults to get up close to these fantastic objects and create their own Chinese-inspired work. 
Some of the new work created will be showcased within the touring exhibition, demonstrating just some of the innovative material produced as part of China in the East.
