The event features over 20 precious horse-themed cultural artifacts from the Palace Museum, making their debut in Shanghai. These treasures span rituals, military affairs, art, and daily life, including the Painted Grey Pottery Horse Head from the Han Dynasty and the tri-color glazed horse from the Tang Dynasty (618–907).
Digital exhibits, such as Emperor Qianlong in armor on horseback, bring historical narratives to life through cutting-edge technologies like naked-eye 3D and AI. Immersive interactive displays invite visitors to engage with the cultural and scientific significance of horses through visual, tactile, and playful experiences.
