Inspired by the ancient Chinese belief that "music is the harmony between heaven and earth", the exhibition draws on the musical philosophy recorded in the Book of Rites and the traditional concept of the five tones. It follows the historical development of Chinese music, from court ritual music and literati traditions to folk performances.

Through technologies including motion sensing, digital projection, interactive installations and real-time visual effects, the exhibition transforms classical music stories into immersive experiences.

Five themed sections highlight iconic works and instruments. Visitors can interact with digital bells, explore animated scroll paintings, trigger musical effects and experience visual landscapes that respond to melodies. The exhibition aims to move beyond traditional museum displays, allowing audiences to shift from passive observers to active participants.
