From Paris to Shanghai: A Cultural Voyage
On June 9, Shanghai's Museum of Art Pudong hosted a special unboxing ceremony, revealing two iconic paintings from Paris's Musée d'Orsay: Jean-Francois Millet's 'The Gleaners' and Vincent van Gogh's 'Bedroom in Arles'. These artworks are part of over 100 authentic pieces by Western masters – including Monet, Millet, Cezanne and van Gogh – set to go on display.
