The Qi of China, opened by Princess Máxima on October 9, 2009, is an interactive exhibition at Tropenmuseum Junior in Amsterdam. The central theme is Qi, the energy that flows through everything and everyone according to Chinese culture.

Designed for children aged 6 to 13, the exhibition invites participants to explore their own qi.
In The Qi of China, nothing is behind glass. All objects are part of the experience. During the guided tour, children learn about Chinese traditions by exploring spaces like a tea house, a calligraphy studio, and an umbrella factory. Guided by museum staff, children participate in various activities, including the Qi jump, which is filmed and incorporated into an online game that accompanies the exhibition (www.qigame.nl).

The Marco Polo in Amsterdam project by the Dutch Opera, led by Anthony Heidweiller, brings art into the community through mini-operas and choir projects. The focus is on the city’s diversity and intercultural connections. From the Zeedijk to the Silk Route, activities include music performances, cultural encounters, a Silk Route bus featuring opera music and documentary screenings, and a Song Pillar installed at various semi-public locations. Passersby are invited to spontaneously sing, record, and become part of the “vocal map” of the Netherlands. Studio Daniel Ament translated this challenge into a functional installation, designing the Song Pillar to be intuitive and inviting for these locations, encouraging participants to sing wholeheartedly while subtly experiencing that their voice became quieter to the surrounding area as they approached the pillar.
