BEAUTIFUL pottery and porcelain provided a visual feast for visitors as they entered the Han Chiang Chinese Heritage Centre on Jalan Lim Lean Teng in Penang.
More than 100 items including jade jewellery, calligraphy and paintings were on display at the four- day antique and artifacts exhibition which started on July 29.
Lecca Poh, 47, was spotted on the last day of the exhibition together with her son Alex Ooi and Alex’s schoolmate, Lim Shao Wei, both 11.
“The children wanted to visit the exhibition following encouragement from their headmaster,” she said.
“This is an eye-opening experience as we learnt a lot about Chinese culture through the artifacts.
“We also learnt more of Penang’s history via the old photos on display,” she said.

Lau Seong Leng, 47, a collector of pottery, came back a second time as he could not get enough of the exhibition after his first visit.
“The exhibition exposes visitors to rare antique Chinese porcelain and artifacts.
“Overall, I gained knowledge from the exhibition and the public talk conducted by Han Chiang College,” he said.
The exhibition was jointly organised by the Malaysian Chinese Cultural Society, Malaysian Chinese Artifact Association and Han Chiang College.
It received an overwhelming response as 500 visitors turned up.
Six exhibitors from Malaysia and China as well as six artists from China participated in the event.
