Thus, for its first day, the Shanghai Art Museum welcomed more than 12 000 visitors, i.e. eight times more than its usual frequenting. Despite long queues under the rain, people rushed to admire Wu Guanzhong’s and Lin Fengmian‘s paintings.

This politic should be set in seven other museums in provinces such as Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Hubei and Beijing.
