A model of the Polish Pavilion at Expo Shanghai 2010, inspired by the Polish folk art of paper-cutting, is also on display.
This is the first time that the Polish State Ethnographic Museum has held such a grand exhibition in China, according to NAMOC curator Wu Weishan.
The exhibition kicked off on July 11 and is scheduled to end on Sept 16.
It is being held to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Poland. Last autumn NAMOC sent an exhibit to Poland, Beyond Faces – Masks, Puppets and Shadow Art from the NAMOC Collection, as part of the cultural exchange activities between the two countries.
