Expo 2010 China Pavilion to Rival International Art Museums

Attention: open in a new window.  E-mail

chinese-pavilion_1624771cThe China Pavilion, one of the highlights of the 2010 Shanghai Expo, will be turned into a permanent museum to showcase Chinese modern art, according to various media.

Slated to open on October 1, 2012, the new 160,000-square-meter museum will be called China Art Palace and will be ten times as large as the Shanghai Art Museum. The future art and tourist landmark will devote 70,000 square meters to display top-level art from China and abroad. Though the cost and the construction period of China Art Palace have yet to be disclosed.

The revamping of the China Pavilion and the authorities' further ambition to build two other new art establishments on the former Expo site, is part of a plan to make Shanghai an international cultural metropolis and takes aim at other top art establishments around the world.

China Pavilion is currently hosting a three-month Picasso Exhibition.
