Step into a world where 700-year-old art forms collide with modern creativity! Beijing's Nanchizi Museum is hosting the 'Dian Xi Yi Ben' exhibition, blending shadow puppetry and paper-cutting – two UNESCO-recognized Chinese heritage arts – with bold contemporary installations. 🔦
Picture this: 24 interactive works by masters and modern artists, where laser-cut dragons cast storytelling shadows and 3D paper sculptures transform gallery walls into living storybooks. One showstopper? A life-sized shadow theater using projection mapping to reinvent classic folklore – think ancient puppetry meets Blade Runner 2049 aesthetics! 🎬
