What did light look like nearly 2,000 years ago?🕯️

On International Museum Day, let’s take a closer look at this painted pottery lamp with floral design from the collection of Luoyang Museum, dating back to 25–220 AD.🏛️

The artifact consists of a central pole, a base and 12 curved branches, each ending in a shallow bowl designed to hold oil and a wick. When all 12 wicks are lit, the lamp blossoms into a dazzling tree of light.✨

In the reflection, someone dressed in traditional Chinese attire is caught by the lens, as if time itself has folded, taking us back nearly 2,000 years. #internationalmuseumday #museum #museumlovers #ancientartifacts #culturalheritage #timetravel #chineseculture #cgtndocumentary

Hung beneath the eaves to scare birds away, this charming little figure adds a playful sense of life and character to this old house.🐈🌾

May feels just right. Not too warm, not too cold, perfect for a slow walk.

Little corners like this, where plants spill over walls and warm light glows from inside, make the city feel softer somehow.

Would you stop here for a moment? 🌿
