The Shanghai Mingyuan Art Museum recently unveiled its inaugural exhibition, Delight in the Invisible - An "Abstract" Narrative of Momentary, to mark the opening of the new gallery. 

The exhibition is a further advancement of the "Perception Art" concept of the 2019 Shanghai Mingyuan Art Museum.

"Delight in the Invisible" is a specific issue deeply explored in the "Perception Art" concept, which has a very thoughtful relationship with art history. The intention of the term is to discuss art issues, and to examine the development of literati painting and contemporary art with "Delight in the Invisible" as the topic.

The exhibition explores the new development possibilities of contemporary Chinese art now or in the future through the works of 27 representative artists.

The Shanghai Mingyuan Art Museum was officially established in 2004. Covering an area of over 2,000 square meters, it is the first private non-profit art museum established in Shanghai and has been free to the public since its opening.

The museum adheres to the concept of development and dissemination of contemporary Chinese art. 

Through themed exhibitions, academic exchanges, art collection, public education and other activities, it provides an open platform for the public to display and exchange art, and also sets up a corresponding dialogue mechanism for the field of art research at home and abroad.
