The exhibition will "take audiences on a textbook-style journey through the universal charm of Impressionism and its unique resonance in Asia", says Shen Yubing, a professor at Fudan University.

Chu says the exhibition will also serve as part of the celebration of the first China-Japan-South Korea Cultural Exchange Year, which will take place in 2025 and 2026.

"About 3 percent of the visitors to the Pola Museum are from China. I hope that we will have more visitors after this exhibition," says Keiko Imai, chief curator of the Pola Museum.
