Whispers from the Past: Ancestral Echoes & Sacred Rites

#springitinerary Walking through the exhibit felt like tracing the delicate threads of ancestry and devotion. The hsun ok, from Myanmar, in the form of a hintha bird, carried centuries of offerings and reverence. This is also the mascot of the museum. The Mentawai artifacts, intricately carved and animistic, whispered of harmony with nature, reinforcing deep ancestral bonds. Each object felt like a quiet conversation with the past, weaving together memory, identity, and the timeless practice of honoring those who came before. #asiancivilisationsmuseum
