Picasso's Works to Delight Beijingers

256 paintings of Pablo Picasso are exhibited at Beijing Imperial City Art Gallery from March 26 to May 26, the third stop of its tour.

It is the largest exhibition held in Asia on Picasso's works. These paintings, valued at an insurance premium of more than 100 million yuan (about US$ 12.1 million), have already been on display in south China's Shenzhen and east China's Shanghai for the past three months.

These paintings span his lifetime and cover a wide range of subjects including animals, portrait, poems and classical literature.

The French Picasso Foundation, the owner of most of Picasso works, greatly supported the exhibition. Chinese and French organizers booked a specific flight compartment to transport the paintings directly from Europe.

Time: until May 26
