Sunway Resort Hotel has partnered with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to create a unique Mid-Autumn Festival offering. This collaboration brings together the world of fine art and traditional celebrations, resulting in an exclusive mooncake gift box inspired by the works of renowned Japanese artist, Katsushika Hokusai.
Sunway Resort Hotel aims to elevate the Mid-Autumn Festival experience by incorporating fine art into their seasonal offerings. Their goal is to provide guests with a luxurious and culturally rich gift option that combines the traditional mooncake with world-class artistry. This initiative showcases Sunway's commitment to creating unique, memorable experiences for their patrons.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, plays a crucial role in this collaboration by providing access to their extensive collection of artwork. As a world-renowned institution, the MFA Boston brings cultural significance and artistic prestige to the project. Their involvement ensures that the final product is not just a seasonal offering, but a piece of art history that customers can own and appreciate.
The artwork featured in this collaboration is "Lilies, from an untitled series known as Large Flowers" by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Hokusai, a master Japanese artist, is famous for his woodblock prints and paintings. This particular piece showcases Hokusai's ability to capture the essence of nature with simplicity and power. The lilies, native to Japan, are portrayed with a deliberate simplification of composition and coloring, resulting in a striking and impactful image.

Priced at MYR 288.00, each box contains four mooncakes chosen from a selection of eight flavors, including unique options like Salted Egg Yolk Lava and Durian King. The mooncake box serves as both a delicious treat and a collectible piece of art, making it an ideal gift or keepsake for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
