The National Art Museum of China is holding an exhibition to display its collection of foreign art. Lin Qi reports.
Since its opening in 1963, the National Art Museum of China has assembled more than 110,000 artworks in its collection, among which some 3,500 items have been produced by foreign artists.
It has accumulated a variety of international artworks as a way to broaden the home audience's vision of the world and also expand the Beijing-based museum's global influence. The bulk of the items in its collection have been donated by artists and collectors at home and abroad since the 1990s, according to Wu Weishan, the director of NAMOC.
