This December, the Museum of Art Pudong is set to captivate art enthusiasts with two blockbuster exhibitions featuring masterpieces from two of France's most prestigious institutions, the Louvre Museum and the Musee Picasso Paris.

The Wonders of Patterns: Masterpieces from India, Iran, and the Ottoman World

Launching on Dec 13, this exhibition marks the Louvre Museum's inaugural showcase in Shanghai. Featuring approximately 300 exquisite pieces from the Louvre's collection, it will be the largest exhibition ever presented by the Louvre in China.

Spanning the 16th to 19th centuries, the exhibition highlights the artistic achievements of India, Iran, and the Ottoman Empire, making it the Museum of Art Pudong's most geographically diverse exhibition to date.

Visitors will be mesmerized by the intricate and vibrant patterns that define the art from these regions, including natural floral motifs, poetic imagery, and geometric designs. These works not only reflect the cultural and historical narratives of their time but also continue to inspire contemporary art and design.
