On Sept. 30, the exhibition Artistry in Kiln Fire: Wedgwood Ceramics from the V&A Collection opened at the Chengdu Museum. A total of 202 exquisite artifacts from the Victoria and Albert Museum in the United Kingdom, Sichuan Museum, and Chengdu Museum showcase the artistic allure of porcelain. This exhibition serves as a cultural feast prepared by the Chengdu Museum for the National Day holiday. Major museums across the province have not only launched multiple new exhibitions but also organized engaging activities, allowing visitors to experience the charm of China's outstanding traditional culture beyond mere viewing.

Multiple new exhibitions welcome the National Day holiday. The V&A collection exhibition focuses on Wedgwood ceramics. The Chengdu Yongling Museum has launched Tracing Patterns of the Five Dynasties: The Aesthetic Code of the Former Shu Imperial Mausoleum, displaying replicas of cultural relics such as jade belts and silver boxes. The exhibition highlights comparisons of patterns on unearthed artifacts, clearly illustrating the evolutionary trajectory of pattern art that "inherited the Tang legacy and ushered in the Song style".

It also offers an in-depth interpretation of the costume system of the Twenty-Four Musicians, accompanied by restored hair ornaments to recreate the splendor of court music and dance of the Former Shu period.

The Casting the Ancient, Melting the Modern: Zhu Bingren's Molten Copper Art Exhibition at the Sanxingdui Museum is also worth visiting. In addition, other premium exhibitions, including the Yongle Palace Special Exhibition at Sichuan Museum, the Yungang Grottoes exhibition at Sanxingdui Museum, and the Ode to Shudu special exhibition at the Chengdu Wuhou Shrine Museum, will remain open.

During the National Day holiday, activities presented simultaneously by major museums are equally exciting. The Chengdu Natural History Museum has launched the Hymn to Nature: Ode to Mountains and Rivers for the National Day series of science popularization activities. Featuring seven major themes, including mountains, rivers, and living beings, the events combine performances, experiments, and immersive script-based experiences to integrate nature exploration with patriotic education.

On Oct. 1, visitors can participate in co-painting a 77-meter-long scroll titled Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Mountains: Journey Along the Shu Roads or join a flash mob performance of revolutionary songs; on Oct. 5, a brand-new dinosaur-themed script game will be available. Throughout the seven-day holiday, public guided tours, VR experiences, robot-guided tours, cinema screenings, and social education courses will be offered daily.

Museums in various cities and prefectures will also organize activities such as rubbings, garden tours, and quiz competitions to enrich the holiday exhibition experience.
