About the event
Natália Mey will present the restoration work of the Chinese temple, part of the Chinese heritage in Mozambique at CCBM.
The Temple was made by Chinese artisans in Mozambique at the end of the first half of the 20th century. This Temple was deposited in the Museum of Art soon after national independence and was officially handed over to the Chinese Community Association in Mozambique in 2018. An immediate restoration was necessary.
The temple is characterised by three altars, the middle one dedicated to Kwan Kun and flanked by altars of the faithful Liu Bei and Zhang Fe. In front of these altars is the altar of offerings, where are carved and carved historical scenes of the life of Kwan Kun.
