Cuisine culture: The More Than Just Food Ceramic Art Exhibition will display works from 12 ceramicists.

To explore the history and development of Hong Kong cuisine, the Heritage Museum will stage a series of art and history exhibitions, academic conferences and forums and educational activities.

 

With Food Culture Festival as its 2003/04 theme, the museum will run a ceramic art display from today until January 5.

 

The More Than Just Food ceramic art exhibition has enlisted the participation of 12 ceramicists who put together a big banquet with imaginative tableware accompanying 12 special menus designed according to monthly themes.

 

Other exhibitions of the festival include Hong Kong's Food Culture, the Art of Tea - Pu'er Tea & Teaware, Chinese Food Culture, and Hong Kong Foodscape - Texts, Images & Installations.

 

The museum also plans a number of educational activities for children, including a ceramics fun fair to be held this Saturday and Sunday, and a game stall on food culture on July 1.
