Its opening ceremony was held in early June in The Great Hall of Exalted Mystery (Dagaoxuan dian) at the Palace Museum in Beijing. This exhibition, aims to showcase the essence of Chinese culture through interactive 3D digital technology, following the 'FLASH! The Palace Museum – A Pop-Up Digital Experience' exhibition held at Tai Kwun, and 'The Ways in Patterns: An Immersive Digital Exhibition from the Palace Museum' exhibition currently underway at the Hong Kong Palace Museum. These initiatives collectively demonstrate IoP's continuous support for the Palace Museum's efforts to promote digital cultural heritage conservation. The horse culture-themed exhibition is part of a five-year initiative titled 'Promotion of Chinese Culture and Arts Tech Talent Development in the Mainland and Hong Kong' – a collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum to foster cultural exchange and develop arts tech talent. It also coincides with the museum's centennial celebration and the 140th anniversary of The Hong Kong Jockey Club. Lester Huang, IoP Chairman and Trustee of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, said at the opening ceremony that the collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum aims to promote traditional Chinese culture, nurture arts tech talent and develop Hong Kong into a centre for international cultural exchange. Cultivating Arts Tech Talent Lester Huang, IoP Chairman and Trustee of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, said the collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum aims to promote traditional Chinese culture, nurture arts tech talent and develop Hong Kong into a centre for international cultural exchange. He pointed to the beautiful harmony between the horse-culture exhibition and the Palace Museum's deep cultural heritage. This five-year collaboration between IoP and the Palace Museum is an important contribution to the development of Hong Kong as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange as outlined in the National 14th Five-Year Plan.
