Creating a unique space for dialogue in art and history, Transcending Borders shows a selection of impressive archaeological finds left behind by the Hallstatt culture alongside works by the renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The exhibition presents these objects not only as historical artifacts, but also as a connection to our ancestors and a source of inspiration for contemporary art. The archaic works of art by Ai Weiwei, in display cases specially designed by him, complement the collection in an ingenious way.
The exhibition includes Ai’s painted porcelain vases and Forever Bicycles, displayed alongside ancient textile craft, tools, and ceramics; his wooden bar construction of an original Chinese mansion from the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911 AD); and impressive Zodiac heads positioned in front of the museum, creating a striking entrance to the exhibition.
