It features rare ancient Chinese natural history books, natural history paintings, local biological specimens, and other major exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition also includes four immersive interactive art installations, allowing visitors to wander through natural images from ancient books, step into the Qing Dynasty Garden of myriad creatures, overlook Hong Kong's mountain and sea habitats, and finally become naturalists themselves in a microscopic ecological scene. The exhibition presents the historical connections and contemporary dialogue between traditional Chinese knowledge of nature and the development of local natural history in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>July 16, 2026 - January 10, 2027<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-1536x954.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/\u6d77\u5831\u6a6b.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Organiser: Ptolemy Museum<br>Co-organiser: Hong Kong Biodiversity Museum<br>Collaborating Institutions: China Foundation for the Promotion of Education and Culture, Hong Kong Management Association<br>Supporting Organizations: Wildlife Illustrations Hong Kong, Hok Hoi Library<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u591a\u8b58\u842c\u7269\uff1a\u4e2d\u570b\u53e4\u4ee3\u535a\u7269\u5b78\u8207\u9999\u6e2f\u81ea\u7136\u63a2\u7d22 \u5c55\u89bd\u4ee5\u4e2d\u570b\u53e4\u4ee3\u535a\u7269\u5b78\u8207\u9999\u6e2f\u81ea\u7136\u63a2\u7d22\u70ba\u96d9\u91cd\u8996\u89d2\uff0c\u5c55\u51fa\u4e2d\u570b\u53e4\u4ee3\u535a\u7269\u5b78\u73cd\u8cb4\u53e4 [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":329,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2278","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2278"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2280,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2278\/revisions\/2280"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ptolemymuseum.org.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
