A couple of rare rubbings that were made during the Song Dynasty form the star-pieces in the show. Together they represent the most comprehensive and systematic exhibition of this unusual branch of Chinese art ever held in Hong Kong. To coincide with the exhibition, an international symposium (in putonghua) will be held from 26th to 28th April. • Selections from the A r t Museum Collection (From 16th March to August 2001 at the East-wing Galleries) On display are rubbings from the Art Museum collection, but there is also a special group of objects from the scholar's studio, which range from brush pots, ink cakes, ink slabs, seals, seal vermilion boxes, water droppers, water coupes to table screens, arm rests, and paper weights. 東漢禮器碑，明代拓本 北京大學圖書館藏品 Liqi Stele, Eastern Han, Ming Dynasty rubbing, collection of the Peking University Library
