The moment I saw the preview images of The Apothecary Diaries Exhibition’s recreations, which brought to life objects like the medicine-filled Maomao’s Clandestine Cabinet, a couple of costumes (one Maomao’s, the other Jinshi’s), and a Go board playing area, I started fantasizing about the potential immersiveness of the exhibition. Would it whisk me away into the historical China-inspired setting of The Apothecary Diaries?
