Shanghai's most worthwhile new exhibition is a stunning journey through Paris a century ago

🧚‍♀️ Shanghai has recently gathered a lot of new exhibitions, and the one I think is the most worth visiting is the exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 'Modern Paris 1914-1945'. It takes you back to the golden age of Paris a hundred years ago, and it's super impressive! . 💯 Moreover, in this museum, you can see 3 exhibitions at once, which is definitely a great place to go on the weekend! . 🌈 The entire exhibition retrospectively explores the emergence and flourishing of modernity in Paris during the last century's golden age from a rich and interwoven perspective, presenting more than three hundred exhibits, including architectural models, manuscripts, paintings, jewelry, photography, films, clothing, and a digital space created by DS+R architectural firm. . 📽️ From intimate interior spaces to the grand scale of urban planning, from jewelry to clothing and then to film images, the exhibition presents what can be described as a thirty-year history of creative passion for the city of Paris. . ‼️ According to the introduction, this exhibition has been in planning for seven years, and the entire preparation time took three years! . ♨️ Key points: 🎞️ There is a considerable number of projection screens arranged in a matrix, offering an immersive experience to see historical footage of people visiting, constructing, and climbing the Eiffel Tower, their colorful nightlife, and even stage recordings of singers and dancers of that time, definitely a flowing Parisian feast full of imagination and atmosphere. . 🚗 Inside the exhibition hall, there is a 1939 Citroën car that was transported from France.
