Dear all,

As the new academic year is about to start, the University Library is pleased to announce its first cultural activity of the year -- "Exhibition of Chinese Tea Sets", which is jointly organized by the Library and the Chinese Teaism Association of Macao. It will be held at the Anthony S.W. Lau Exhibition Hall of the Library from 10:30a.m. to 5:00p.m. during the period from 3 September to 3 October, 2008 (closed on Public Holidays). The opening ceremony of the exhibition will commence at 3:00p.m. on 3 September 2008 at the Anthony S.W. Lau Exhibition Hall of the Library.

This exhibition will mainly display about 200 tea sets, of which all are offered by the Association’s members. The period of coverage for those tea sets is from the Song Dynasty to the present. Most of them came from China but a few from overseas. Also, there will be some art designs of tea sets, and relevant books displayed in this exhibition.

To have a better understanding on the Chinese tea culture, a "Talk on Tea Culture" will be held at 4:00 p.m. on 20 September 2008, which will be conducted in Cantonese by Mr. Lo Heng Kong, the President of the Chinese Teaism Association of Macao.

All are welcome!
