Real estate to canvas

A new museum highlights the trend of private companies investing in art in China. Lin Qi reports.

Powerlong Museum, among the latest additions to Shanghai's private art destinations, stands alone in the metropolis' far southwestern Minhang district. Many other such institutions, such as the Long Museum, Yuz Museum and Shanghai Center of Photography, are found in the well-known West Bund area, closer to the city center.

The real estate company Powerlong Group has opened Powerlong Museum near its headquarters, a shopping mall, a hotel and other offices.
