Keramiekmuseum Princessehof

Wu Zetian

From 26 October 2024 until 25 May 2025

Exhibition

Aan de hand van indrukwekkende voorwerpen van ongekende kwaliteit, volg je het onwaarschijnlijke levenspad van een jong meisje dat als concubine aantreedt aan het keizerlijke hof en zich met ongeremde ambitie opwerkt tot Wu Zetian, de enige vrouwelijke keizer van China.

Wu Zetian

Het Princessehof komt met een primeur: in oktober 2024 presenteert het museum in Leeuwarden een tentoonstelling over Wu Zetian, de enige keizerin van China. Als eerste museum in Europa brengt het haar bijzondere verhaal tot leven. Een verhaal waarin handel, emancipatie en intriges een hoofdrol spelen. De tentoonstelling vertelt een verhaal over een bijzonder machtige vrouw uit de wereldgeschiedenis, aan de hand van zo’n honderd Chinese relieken die zelden in Europa te zien zijn. De tentoonstelling is een van de meest prestigieuze uit de geschiedenis van Keramiekmuseum Princessehof.

De tentoonstelling komt tot stand dankzij een samenwerking met Palatina Cultural Group en heeft als belangrijkste Chinese partners Art Exhibitions China en Henan Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Zijderoute

Het verhaal van Wu Zetian is niet alleen interessant vanwege haar persoonlijke geschiedenis, maar ook omdat het zich afspeelt in de tijd van de Tang dynastie (618-907), tevens de bloeiperiode van de welbekende Zijderoute. China was het centrum van de handel die Oost-Azië, het Midden-Oosten en Oost-Afrika met elkaar verbond. In de hoofdstad Chang’an (het huidige Xi’an) wemelde het van de handelaren die de meest verfijnde producten uit alle windrichtingen verkochten. Wu Zetian drukte een duidelijk stempel op haar tijd. Ze voerde onder meer tal van hervormingen in de landbouw en handel door en verlaagde de belastingen. Tijdens haar leven floreerde de handel als nooit tevoren.
