Chunhua Zhuozhuo (Blooming Spring), on view at the Xinyou Archives of the China National Silk Museum, showcases textile designs created in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, between the 1960s and '90s — a period when the city continued its long-standing role as a center of textile production and trade. The works come from a recent donation by veteran designer Hua Sihong, featuring representative design drafts for a wide range of fabrics.

On show until June 7, the display spans realistic interpretations, geometric styles and abstract expressions. Carefully arranged lines depict the intricate layers of petals and leaves, capturing subtle contrasts of light and shadow, while reflecting the era's evolving fashion sensibilities.

9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 73-1 Yuhuangshan Lu, Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. 0571-8703-5223.
