Peter Rabbit's timeless adventure at UCCA Lab 

An exhibition featuring the famous Peter Rabbit is currently on display at the UCCA Lab in Beijing's 798 Art Zone, marking the beginning of the cute rabbit's tour through China. 

Beatrix Potter's beloved children's books, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends series, originated from a compassionate letter the author wrote to the convalescing son of a friend. 

Since the publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, the character has become a beloved figure worldwide and has cemented its place in the history of children's literature. 

The exhibition showcases ­Potter's enchanting illustrations of the countryside, the whimsical world of Peter Rabbit, and the author's fascinating life. The immersive experience is divided into five sections - Where the Story Begins, A Great Adventure, A Fierce Battle, Tell Me Another Story, and A Beautiful Legacy -taking visitors on a journey through the classic stories of the Peter Rabbit series. Join Peter and his friends on their adventures through sandbanks, meadows, hills, forests and farms.  

The exhibition will run until September 5.
