In China: Photographs by Aaron Schuman
23rd August – 11th December 2005

In China: Photographs by Aaron Schuman opens at the Museum on 23rd August 2005. Exploring the diversity, vibrancy and complexity of day-to day life in modern China, this photographic exhibition reveals the modern continuation of 5,000 years of Chinese traditions.

Including an inspiring range of images from urban environments, cultural centres, and major religious communities, this exhibition investigates how various tradtional religious and historical customs remain finely embedded within Chinese culture, even within the most contemporary, ordinary and everyday aspects of Chinese society. The exhibition is on show until 11th December 2005 and is sponsored by the Arts Institute in Bournemouth.
