On November 9, the Han Meilin Art Exhibition opened at the Jinan Art Museum. During the event, it was officially confirmed that the fifth Han Meilin Art Museum will be located in Jinan. Currently, Han Meilin Art Museums are located in Hangzhou, Yinchuan, and other cities. Among them, the Han Meilin Art Museum in Beijing, located in Liyuan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, has been deeply integrated into the development of the sub-center and has made outstanding contributions to the cultural construction here.

This exhibition is the first time Han Meilin has returned to his hometown to hold an exhibition since he was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1955. It will showcase the essence of contemporary fine arts and convey the common vision of peace for mankind through artworks in different disciplines such as calligraphy, painting, sculpture, ironwork, and ceramics.

Previously completed Han Meilin Art Museums include the Beijing Han Meilin Art Museum, which was completed on June 25, 2008, in Tongzhou District, Beijing. Today, this art museum has become a gilded signboard for the cultural development and prosperity of the sub-center and a new landmark on the canal landscape. At the same time, as the largest "base" for Han Meilin's artistic creation, this has always been a blessed place for Han Meilin. 

Chief Curator of four Han Meilin Art Museums, Han Meilin 's wife Zhou Jianping said, Beijing Han Meilin Art Museum is also Han Meilin 's base of creation, where we have created countless works of art. For Han Meilin, the work focus is always in Beijing, in Tongzhou.

In addition to carrying its own artistic creation, the Han Meilin Art Museum has been deeply integrated into the development of the sub-center and has become a popular spot for citizens to experience art with a wealth of exhibitions and activities.

This year's "1864 - Beijing Han Meilin Art Museum Panda Special Exhibition" and "Spring Farming Program" art bazaar and other activities have been welcomed by art enthusiasts, allowing audiences of different ages to participate in the production of cultural and creative products and fully experience the charm of art.

In the future, under the layout of "multi-museum collaboration", Beijing Han Meilin Art Museum will continue to recruit talents and do its part in the development of culture and art in the sub-center.

Zhou Jianping said that the five Han Meilin Art Museums in the country have formed an overall situation, and we also have great expectations for the future cultural undertakings in Tongzhou, hoping that with the participation of Han Meilin Art Museum, the cultural undertakings of the sub-center will become more and more prosperous and beautiful in the future.
