At the exhibition, Chinese and foreign guests reviewed the origin of Yixing purple sand and the Netherlands, and imagined the future development of Yixing purple sand in Europe."This exhibition is a collision of history and a reappearance of culture," said Alexandra, the curator of the Depot Museum.

Through onepot, we hope to build a diversified and efficient international purple sand exchange platform, using purple sand as a medium to enhance mutual understanding between the two peoples and promote the steady and long-term development of China-Netherlands relations.”
