A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains 3.0 Exhibition

Through various presentations by means of digital multimedia, interactive experiencing, spatial displays, and physical displays, “A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains 3.0” illustrates the aesthetic nuances of this most famous ancient Chinese painting, exploring it by “moving, travelling, seeing, living” within it, so as to convey the masterpiece’s philosophical pursuit of “harmony between man and nature”, prompting visitors to ponder the relationships between man and nature, man and society, and man and his soul.

The digital long scroll of A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains is the world’s first multi-channel technology enabling real-time interaction with the audience.
