The exhibition has also reproduced Picasso's workplace and set up zones for visitors to try painting and take pictures.

At the entrance of the exhibition, the two night owl-themed sculptures are the treasure of the exhibition. Chen Yanru, curator of the exhibition's co-organizer LC Museum, said that the exhibition was authorized by the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Foundation in France and many of the exhibits were on display at the Picasso Museum.

"Picasso treated owls as his favorite pets and he believed that his eyes are the same as those of owls. Therefore, he created a series of owl-themed works," noted Chen.

The exhibition will run for five months until Nov 10.
