關於展覽
「知愈豐，行益健」 馬雅‧安哲羅
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。
