Scroll!

The highlight for me of the Tianjin Museum's show of treasures from their collection was 八大山人 Bada Shanren's 1697 “河上花图卷 Flowers along the River.” It was unfurled for the whole length of the gallery,
and I walked happily back and forth along it in wonder and delight. Happily you can see it, too, here. Scroll down to "Flowers along the river" and click, then scroll the left. You'll be as dazzled as I was. 1697!!
