The Sheraton Grand Beijing Dongcheng Hotel, in collaboration with the Jinyu Liuliqu Cultural and Creative Park, has officially unveiled an exhibiton called Imperial heights:The art of glazed last Friday.
The exhibition, held in the hotel's open-concept art space, marks the ninth installment of its "Art Community" curation series and transforms the hotel lobby into a radiant reception hall of imperial artistry.
At the heart of this exhibition is the rich tradition of guan shi liuli—official glazed tiles used in royal architecture. A stunning highlight includes a rare, life-sized reproduction of the imperial chiwen roof ornament from the main ridge of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.
The exhibition is structured around three thematic chapters: "Five Elements, Five Colors," "Crafted by Hand," and "Ming and Qing Aesthetics."
