Gods in My Home examines a combination of Chinese ancestral paintings and traditional popular prints, with a focus on the fascinating connection between these two seemingly separate genres in the context of Chinese Lunar New Year.

Visitors are invited to explore unique objects including New Year prints and paintings, ancestral portraits, vessels, and ceramics, and discover the shared family values, ritual concepts, belief in visual powers, and the common traditions that bind them.
