Colours give life to an inanimate object, meaning to a seemingly simple act and thought to a creation. Colors have different associations across cultures. Colours signify cultural uniqueness and deeper meaning especially across Asia.

"Colours of Asia" project aims to foster exchange of creative ideas and comparative studies of culture by focusing on the use of colours across various Asian regions. This is being done through study of significant dimensions of culture; such as beliefs & rites of passage that define the society, architecture & design that bring in heritage, food that combines or divides preferences and language & literature that allow diverse expressions.

The exhibition showcases Asian culture through five dominant colours and their diverse manifestations across geography, history, object, belief and contemporary expressions. Sections of this exhibition will traverse from rich cultural past to an equally relevant and exciting present day.

色彩為死物延展生命活力，為看似簡單的行為賦予具體意義，為蒼生萬物增添無限思維。色彩於不同的文化氛圍引發不同的聯想。尤其在亞洲，色彩更象徵獨特的文化和深層的意義。

「亞洲色彩」展覽主要透過亞洲不同地區對色彩的運用，促進創意交流和文化的比較研究。通過研習文化上的重要領域，例如體現社會的信仰和人生慶典儀式、融入遺蹟的建築與設計、演繹愛惡的食物，和流露情感的語言與文學，展覽的目的理念都一一紛陳展現。

展覽通過五種色彩主調及跨越地理、歷史、實物、信念和當代意象的延伸描畫，以最真實的風貌呈現亞洲文化的獨當一面。昔日的豐富文化，傳承至今天繼續大放異彩。展覽各部分將橫越古今，將多個時代的瑰麗文化向您娓娓道來。
