FRANCE’S Pompidou Center will hold a five-year art exhibition project with Xuhui’s West Bund group at the Huangpu River waterfront from 2019.

The group and the renowned Paris cultural center have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to initiate the long-term cooperation project between France and China through 2024.

It becomes “the highest-standard cultural exchange project” of such long duration between China and France in the cultural field, according to the group that takes charge of the riverside development of Xuhui. More than 20 high standard exhibitions and events will take place at the Pompidou Center Shanghai (West Bund) during the five-year project, the Paris institution said.
