SHANGHAI Art Museum is holding its most valuable exhibition ever.
The exhibition, one of the most important events in the "French year in China," which started in October, is called "The Treasures of Impressionism from France" and includes 50 paintings with a total value of 500 million euros. "The Piper" by Edouard Manet, the most valuable single work, alone is worth 46 million euros.
Shanghai Art Museum (SAM) has taken special security measures to ensure the safety of the treasures. No bags or cameras are allowed in the exhibition hall. An electronic alarm system will keep visitors at some distance from the paintings.
SAM has also altered the arrangement of the exhibition halls on the ground floor especially for this show. The walls have been painted a light grey colour, to better set off the paintings.
