Arts & Design--- Go to an Exhibition by myself

On the 8th of March afternoon, I went to the Nanjing Museum with my friend Alex. It is located in the Zhongshan East Road. We went to there by bus 59. We entered it at 2:30p.m. We chose it because our home were very close, both lived in Yueya Lake which is near the Nanjing Museum, and I haven’t been there before. I think as Chinese we should learn more about the culture of Nanjing, so we went there.

In there I knew Nanjing Museum is one of the earliest museum in China. At that time , this museum was the modernist museum in China. Its area is about 130 thousand square metres. Nowadays, there are about 410 thousand art works collected in it especially 10 national treasures , 1000 national antiques.

Nanjing, the capital of the six dynasties, has a very long history. Wevisited many exhibition of Nanjing Museum, such as antiques, calligraphy, painting, but I love the exhibition of Nanjing cloud-pattern brocade especially, Chinese unique skill. The origin of Nanjing cloud-pattern brocade can be traced back to a long long time ago. It used to be reserved only for the emperors and the royal family members in the dynasties.In that time, brocade were very precious. I love the artwork of machine for weaving. It attracted me deeply. It is very big and many lines are very anfractuosity. I think it is too interesting and amazing, because with it weavers can make many wonderful Nanjing cloud-pattern brocade, just use different colors of silk threads for weaving brocade.

I love this exhibition, I also think it was interesting. The Nanjing cloud-pattern brocade are amazing, they are colorful and I love the colorful things very much. Many brocade have the pattern of dragon and phoenix or many flowers on it, they are very elegant and noble. I took many photos of them. This experience is meaningful and I love it. We can learn many culture of Nanjing from it. I want to have more chance to visit museums like this.
