Exhibitions galore
The director of Shanghai Museum Yang Zhigang says the exhibition Treasures of Prosperity, which ran for just a few hours on March 10 because the museum had to be closed later that day due to the outbreak, is back on show and will run to Jan 8. The exhibition features 195 objects that were donated to the Shanghai Museum.
Two new exhibitions will also be held in the museum this month. The first is Thalassa, which will feature ancient Greek art, and the other is about historical society in Henan province. The artworks for Thalassa, which are from Greece, will be the first bunch to enter the city from overseas since the latest outbreak, according to Shanghai Customs.
At Meet You Museum in Jing'an district, a Pablo Picasso exhibition consisting of four oil paintings, 142 prints, 46 ceramic objects and nine photographs by American photographer Robert Capa is currently underway.
"These artworks, from an unfinished school-age painting to a self-portrait Picasso did at 86, reflect the different aspects of his portfolio and document his artistic development," says Wang Chunchen, curator of the exhibition and also a professor with the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
