Shanghai Powerlong Art Museum adheres to the spirit of "promoting the essence of traditional culture and promoting the development of contemporary art". It is a comprehensive, private, non-profit art museum that focuses on displaying modern and contemporary art. It covers an area of 23,000 square meters and has ten exhibition halls of various sizes ranging from 500 to 1,100 square meters. With the exploration of oriental context as its core academic positioning, it strives to make the art museum a good cultural and artistic display and exchange platform through all-round activities such as art exhibitions, academic exchanges, and public education.
On November 18, 2017, the museum officially opened and launched two exhibitions, "Shuzanglou Collection Exhibition" and "Powerlong Art Museum Opening Exhibition". "Shuzanglou Collection Exhibition" mainly collects the surviving masterpieces of modern and contemporary national calligraphy and painting masters. As a permanent exhibition of the museum, it is officially open to the public for the first time, systematically displaying the collections of representative artists from various regions and schools in China over the past century, and exhibiting more than 100 masterpieces by famous artists such as Qi Baishi, Wu Hufan, Huang Yongyu, and Huang Zhou. The opening exhibition, with the theme of "Searching for Veins and Building Mountains", comprehensively reviews and looks forward to the oriental modern and contemporary art that has not yet fully unfolded in Chinese history, covering painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, gardens, images, as well as ancient and modern art forms such as opera and zither.
