Two fully immersive CAVE light-and-shadow spaces
A feast of Han-dynasty life aesthetics, reimagined through digital creativity
On July 3, 2026, the National Treasure Art Exhibition "The House of Golden Splendor — The Aesthetics of Life and Cultivation in the Mawangdui Han Tombs" officially opened at the China Art Museum (Shanghai Art Museum). The exhibition is organized under the guidance of the Publicity Department of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the CPC, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism (Shanghai Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage), the Department of Culture and Tourism of Hunan Province, the Shanghai Office of the Hunan Provincial People's Government, and the Hunan Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage. It is hosted by the Shanghai Art Museum, the Hunan Museum, and Tourism Times.
This exhibition features 195 sets (totaling 472 individual pieces) of carefully selected artifacts, including 31 sets of top-tier national treasures (Grade-One cultural relics). It marks the largest and highest-grade exhibition outside Hunan Province in the over-50-year history of archaeological research on the Mawangdui Han Tombs.
Through visual and contemporary approaches, the exhibition transforms "archaeological evidence" into an "aesthetic site," artistically reinterpreting the cultural narrative of the Mawangdui Han Tombs with modern visual language. It shifts the audience's experience from merely "viewing history" to "immersively experiencing culture."
ALIGHT (Guangyu Laite) serves as the core digital content partner for this exhibition, deeply involved in the digital creative planning and immersive content production. Drawing on the team's extensive hands-on experience in the field of digital art, they have employed cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI, 3D reconstruction, and XR immersive interaction to create two immersive digital spaces — "A Day in the House of Golden Splendor" (Qianjin Yiri) and "Eternal Flowing Clouds" (Yunqi Buxi) — delivering to audiences a grand feast of Han-dynasty life aesthetics reimagined through digital creativity.
