【Travelling Exhibition】El jaguar, un tótem de Mesoamérica

Integrated design-build project Hunan Museum

开展时间:2023年

 

Mexico is the birthplace of Central American ancient civilizations. Its civilization emerged almost concurrently with China's, but due to geographical reasons, it did not interact with civilizations from other continents. After three thousand years of independent development, it formed a civilization that is distinctly different from others. Its mysterious characteristics have a unique appeal. However, the majority of the audience knows very little about them. It is the museum's mission to let our audience know about these subject of their curiosity.

Central American civilization stands proudly with its rich cultural heritage, profound historical flavor, and unique stylistic features. The jaguar, with its sacred nature, is an important symbol of Central American culture. Like other cultures, Central American culture recognizes the endless cycle of creation and destruction in the universe. Only when an old era ends can a vibrant new world emerge. The jaguar is the key that connects the eternal movement of the universe. Viewed from the diverse ethnic cultures of Mexico throughout various periods, the exhibition revolves around the "jaguar", a cultural totem of Central America, breaking the boundaries of time. It presents to the viewers a cyclical journey from the macrocosm to the microcosm, showcasing the glory and immortality of Central American civilization.
