Since its establishment in 1976, Shenzhen Art Museum has enriched the cultural life of the people of Shenzhen, a vibrant city in Guangdong province that is settled by people from across the country. The museum has built links with artists who work and exhibit in Shenzhen, with many of the works contributing to the city's art scene.

In June, the exhibition Mementos opened to show these artists' gifts. The exhibition has entered the second phase, replacing the exhibits with new ones, on show until Feb 16.

Classic Chinese paintings include major movements thriving in the 20th century, such as the Haipai (Shanghai), Lingnan (Guangdong province) and Chang'an (Shaanxi province) schools of painting. There are also calligraphic works and letters between the museum's staff members and the artists.
