Renaissance in Fuzhou (II)

Visited the art exhibition on Thursday night, as announced before. It was definitely not bad. Of course, it cannot be compared to important exhibitions you can frequently visit in Europe, but still, there were quite a lot of nice paintings. And, as it seemed, all paintings were real. I made a few pictures to give you an impression of what it looked like, until I was told I was not allowed to take pictures. "Why not?" I aksed.
"Because taking photographs will damage the paintings" was the answer.
"But I am not using flash" I said .
"Well ... it is not allowed" was the answer.
The organisers were a bit disappointed, though. Because, as it turned out, that evening was especially arranged for our company, and most of the foreigners did not show up, or, very late. There were people invited to take pictures of the foreigners visiting this unique art exhibition in Fuzhou, but they had already left, when the first foreigners showed up. Not the publicity they had hoped for, I am afraid.
I wonder if they got many visitors at all, because the entry tickets were sold for the astronomous price of 350RMB (the equivalent of €35,-)! Good thing we were inivited.
