The Beijing Olympic Museum has unveiled a national sports art exhibition themed on the city's hosting of both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The event features 118 works of Chinese painting, oil painting, woodblock printing, and sculpture by more than 100 artists.
The collection includes pieces selected for the 14th National Art Exhibition, along with works from major art museums and academies across China.
Major highlights include "China=mc2," an Olympic Art Award–winning work by Huang Yongyu, and "Smiling Coubertin" by Wu Weishan, created in 2017 at the invitation of then IOC President Thomas Bach, who personally named the piece.
The art show follows a review exhibition on Beijing's dual Olympic artworks held after the museum's reopening on the second anniversary of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Admission is free, and the exhibition will run until the end of 2025.
The event is organized by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Beijing Municipal Committee, the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Beijing Olympic City Development Association, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Sports.
