Ranging from a showcase of exquisite and colorful Canton enamels to a wonder of nature found in Cretaceous fossils and creative products inspired by several museums’ collections, three new and free exhibitions at the Shenzhen Museum are worth putting on your calendar this summer.

Cultural and creative products
At this cultural and creative products exhibition inspired by Chinese museum collections, there’s everything from toys, stationery, clothing, accessories, souvenirs and blind boxes to explore.
The 105 exhibits were selected from 70 museums and cultural organizations around the country.
The museums incorporated their precious collections into artistic designs to present a treasure trove of rich cultural and relic elements in the products, bringing the public closer to museums.
Some toys combine ancient and modern creative ideas, such as traditional mortise-and-tenon building blocks and archaeological excavation kits.
