We all know that the name of our hometown “Hong Kong” literally means “Fragrant Harbour,” but how well do we understand the Chinese culture of incense? How far back can we trace this tradition in history? What are some of its relics and who have been shaping its development? Hong Kong Museum of Art’s show “Fragrance of Time — In Search of Chinese Art of Scent” focuses on this very interesting topic. The exclusive visit took place on a day when the museum was closed to the public.
