Step into a mythical world where dragons dance across vibrant murals! The Yunnan Art Museum in Kunming has unveiled a mesmerizing exhibition titled ‘Chinese Dragons Roaming around Yunnan’, featuring 90 artworks that fuse ancient folklore with bold modern creativity. 🎨
Divided into three immersive sections, the show highlights the distinct styles of Yunnan’s ethnic murals, from intricate patterns inspired by the Bai and Dai communities to sweeping mythological scenes.
