[Cultural China] Illuminating History: New Souvenirs from Suzhou Museum
: :

Suzhou Museum has recently unveiled its latest collection of cultural and creative products, sparking enthusiastic discussions across social media. Netizens praised the items for achieving a new level of elegance.

 

Themed around lanterns, the new products draw inspiration from rare artifacts in the museum’s collection. The multicolored lantern pattern on a Qing Dynasty cushion has been reimagined as a fridge magnet. Crafted into a detailed 3D palace lantern shape, it lights up majestically and remains exquisitely elegant even when turned off. Its refined craftsmanship and classical charm have made it the “most coveted item” of the new series.

 

The showstopper, however, is an ornament inspired by the museum’s crown jewel—the Pearl Pagoda Containing Sarira. Housed in a painted wooden box depicting the Four Heavenly Kings, the piece recreates the moment when the relic was first unveiled. When illuminated, light shines through the pagoda, highlighting its intricate internal structure and paying tribute to the sublime skill of ancient artisans. The grandeur of this cultural treasure is transformed into a portable glow that can be taken home.
