Silk Road art
Nearly 200 artworks by artists from some 112 countries are now on show at Silk Road: Artists Rendezvous, an exhibition at the National Art Museum of China through to Thursday. An effort to celebrate the spirit of the old Silk Road and enhance exchanges among cultures, the exhibition gathers oil paintings, Chinese paintings, sculptures and mixed-media works, part of which were created by international artists based on their earlier travels across China. Part of the works are from the National Art Museum's collection, and the rest are commissioned works for the show by established Chinese artists. It is an event to hail cultural cooperation. Videos are also on display in which artists featured at the exhibition share their experiences when traveling in China.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6400-1476.
