The 84 pagoda models crafted by the Tushanwan workshop ? were the first attempt to present the Chinese pagoda to the world ?. Although the pagodas gained global attention in San Francisco in 1915 ?, they then fell into obscurity for the next one hundred years.
In this talk, ACM curator Kevin Lam shares their revival in Singapore ?? through the exhibition Pagoda Odyssey 1915 ?️, where the models were reunited and their stories reconstructed for the first time in a century. Discover behind-the-scenes stories of the exhibition’s creation ?, new insights into the pagodas and their makers ?, and an exploration of the neglected details captured in these models ✨ and their enduring significance today ?.
