Event Introduction

In celebration of National Ecology Day, the Ptolemy Museum is offering four additional guided tours. Professional guides will explain the ecological naturalist paintings and related exhibits from the "Plants Have Their Own Essence: Selected Natural History Illustrations by Zeng Xiaolian" exhibition, including flora, stamps, and illustrated guides. This will help visitors understand the essence of naturalist painting and introduce the local ecology of Hong Kong and neighboring regions. A small library will also be set up throughout the day, allowing visitors to freely browse books on naturalist painting. Drawing tools will also be provided for visitors to freely sketch based on the exhibits. Enjoy the intricate paintings of flora and fauna, from the familiar city flower, the bauhinia, to the rare migratory black-winged kite. Experience the vibrant vitality and spirit of native Chinese species captured by the 86-year-old "China's First Naturalist." Through art, we shine the light of ecology.
