About

The Museum of East Asian Art is pleased to announce the opening of its new exhibition, In Bloom, on Tuesday, 1 April 2025.

This exhibition explores how flowers have inspired generations of artists across East and Southeast Asia, showcasing floral-themed objects from the Museum's collection alongside works by contemporary artists and makers.

Visitors can experience Hiroko Imada's cherry blossom forest installation, Sakura Saku (桜咲く), and Wen-Hsi Harman's ceramic sculpture, Rose Petals, which reflects on the distance between her two homes, Taiwan and Britain. Traditional brush paintings by Ieong Tong Pak, as well as works by internationally exhibited artist Lihong Bai, are also featured. The exhibition is further enriched by a seasonal display of paper flowers crafted by Kristen Kong from the Campbell Workshop and prints on loan from the Muban Educational Trust.

In Bloom offers a unique opportunity to explore the enduring artistic influence of flowers—an invitation to discover beauty, tradition, and contemporary interpretations at the Museum of East Asian Art.
