Chief Secretary Carrie Lam today opened the Dunhuang - Untold Tales, Untold Riches exhibition at the Heritage Museum.
The exhibition marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Dunhuang Academy and pays tribute to a group of scholars who ventured into the Gobi Desert during the past century to start copying mural images and study and preserve the caves and relics of Dunhuang.
"Dunhuang culture contains knowledge that one can never learn in a lifetime, art that will be appreciated for generations and endless interesting stories," Mrs Lam said.
"Visitors should spend time to enjoy the exhibition in close detail to appreciate the splendour of Dunhuang culture's monumental knowledge and the exquisiteness of its small features."
The exhibition runs from tomorrow until March 16, showcasing 120 sets of exhibits showing Dunhuang culture, including religion, art, history and folklore.
Exhibits cover all of the core aspects of Dunhuang grotto art, including replica caves, replica painted stucco statues, Buddhist script items and relics of Dunhuang.
