Poland: ‘Instant and Eternity’ exhibition staged in Tianjin

Magdalena Czechonska, director of the Culture Office at the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in China visited the "Instant and Eternity," a Polish Amber Culture and Art Exhibition at the Tianjin Museum on August 20.

This is the first international exhibition introduced by the Tianjin Museum in recent years. It is also an important cultural exchange project between Poland and China.

The exhibition features at least 600 artworks made of amber.

Artifacts featured in the exhibition include a Fairy Tale Chess set made of silver and amber, a set of art jewelry by Iwona Tamborska, a dress decorated with amber, as well as an amber seal selected from the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220). Many visitors may not know that three-quarters of global sales of amber come from Poland.

China and Poland boast a long history and profound cultural traditions, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two sides have become increasingly active in recent years.
