SECOND CHILDREN'S MUSEUM COMPETITION
Reproductions of famous paintings and Chinese antiquities are
some of the attractive prizes to be won in the second children's museum
competition organised by the City Museum and Art Gallery.
The competition, which starts tomorrow (Friday), aims at encouraging
children to visit the museum and art gallery and stimulate their interest
in Chinese art.
It is open to everyone under 17 and is divided into two sections
senior for children over 13, and junior for those aged 13 and under.
The competition will continue until September 30 and will be
held daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Thursdays and Sundays when
the museum will be closed.
Children entering the competition will be required to study the
exhibits and captions in the museum, and then answer some simple questions
on Chinese art and antiquities.
The questions are intended to develop their power of observation,
logical thinking, imagination, and written and pictorial expression.
A list of the winners will be published on October 22.
