French Art Exhibition Reopens to Public in Shanghai

An art exhibition jointly launched by the Centre Pompidou of France and a Shanghaibased company reopened on March 20 in Shanghai after being suspended for almost two months during the novel coronavirus outbreak.

“The Shape of Time” exhibition, which is composed of 11 sections, displays more than 100 works from Centre Pompidou, including those of Pablo Picasso and Robert Delaunay.

All visitors are required to make a reservation via the Art West Bund online platform, with a maximum of 500 people allowed to visit every day.

Launched in November 2019, the exhibition that had been scheduled to last until May 2021 was suspended from January 24.

In early 2018, Shanghai’s West Bund Group initiated a five-year exhibition project together with Centre Pompidou starting from 2019. It includes Centre Pompidou art exhibitions at the West Bund Museum.
