In 2024, more than 2,300 years have passed since Qu Yuan looked up at the universe and asked, ‘To what are the sun and moon attached? In what order are the stars arrayed?’ A thousand years later, someone observed the stars at night and drew more than 1,350 stars on Dunhuang scriptures. More than 620 years ago, Wan Hu made his own rocket and held a kite to soar into the sky, but he never returned. And only 54 years have passed since the Chinese sent an artificial satellite into space. We have gathered the bits and pieces on the thousands of years’ journey of asking about the firmament in the brand-new original aerospace cultural IP ‘Wuqiong’ – Immersive Art Exhibition on China’s Aerospace. The first stop is landed in Beijing. During the 156-day exhibition period, more than 150,000 viewers come to explore the mysteries of China’s aerospace. In 2024, we set sail again. From winter solstice to early summer, from Beijing to Shanghai. In the nearly 2,500-square-meter space of Shanghai Himalayas Museum, let’s head for the universe and dive into ‘Wuqiong’. Opening hours: From June 8th to October 7th, open from 10:00 to 18:00 on Monday to Thursday; from June 8th to October 7th, open from 10:00 to 20:00 on Friday to Sunday; open from 10:00 to 20:00 on New Year’s Day, Spring Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
