It’s time to dust off your water colour palette, fire up your camera or simply pick up a biro and get down a quick sketch! While most of us are all working and schooling from home in isolation, the Chau Chak Wing Museum team invites you to have an artistic moment with us, pausing the uncertainties of our current environment to spend some time engaging our creativity. We’ll provide the inspiration from our collections: vibrant artworks, natural history creatures and ancient treasures from all over the world. This challenge is open to all ages and creative inclinations.
