丝路迢迢联通东西，锦绣煌煌辉映古今。
中国丝绸源远流长、瑰丽多姿，没有一本著作可以穷尽其魅力。但我们可以走进博物馆，现场感受丝绸的魅力和内涵，想象它的意义和外延。
我们看过云气缭绕的汉代织锦、充满异域风情的粟特番锦，感受漠北长风的羌笛驼铃，戈壁沙漠的汉唐雄风；赞赏宋代衣物的精美、辽金元服饰的大气，想象海上丝绸之路的千帆竞发，塞北草原的碧空万里。还有寄托于吉祥图案 中的祈愿，还有衣袂飘飘的绮丽梦想……
As the Silk Road once linked East and West, silk has long woven together time, space, and civilization. Its beauty cannot be fully captured in words, but within this exhibition, we have glimpsed its elegance, its symbolism, and its far-reaching legacy.
From jin silk with clouds motifs to sogdian silk with exotic style, from the refined elegance of Song Dynasty attire to the grandeur of Liao, Jin, and Yuan garments, from desert winds to maritime sails, in every auspicious motif lies a wish; in every flowing sleeve, a dream. As the exhibition comes to a close, the stories woven in silk continue-threads of memory, identity, and imagination-inviting us to carry this legacy forward, into the loom of the future.

风物长宜 Various Aspects of the Daily LIfe
岁月走过，悄无声息。一街一景、一人一物，缓慢地在光影里斑驳，如此这般留下一些似有若无的痕迹。那些旧时的风物，散落在街头巷尾，潜藏于记忆深处，弹指一挥间，沧桑数十年。时间带走了一切，物是人非的变化实在太大；时间带不走一切，似曾相识的画面定格于某处的眷恋。在时光的旧影中穿梭，找寻那份不该忘却的曾经，触摸那份杭州老底子的温情。
