Here Lives Our Culture

Here Lives Our Culture explores cultural materials drawn from more than 20,000 items in the University of Melbourne’s Rare East Asian Collection. To reflect the experience of a traditional Chinese library, the exhibition is organised around the four-category system used in ancient China: Classics, History, Masters, and Literature. China has an extensive history of collecting and classifying books, and libraries have long sat at the heart of its cultural knowledge production. Inspired by the Analects of Confucius and encompassing materials from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, Here Lives Our Culture invites you to learn, share and connect through our collections at the Baillieu Library.

本次斯文在兹展览的展品主要来自有着两万多件藏品的墨尔本大学图书馆东亚特殊馆藏。为了还原中国古代图书馆的样貌，本次展览按照经、史、子、集四部排列。中国古代有着悠久的图书收藏和分类的历史，而图书馆也一直占据着中国文化的核心。此次展览的主题来自《论语》，展品的时间跨度是十七至二十世纪。展览主办方衷心地希望能以我们的馆藏为依托，为您提供一个相互交流和分享的契机。
