A serial picture book exhibition of popular Chinese comic books since the 1920s is now on display at the National Museum of China.

As a form of popular art, the exhibition presents audiences with the cultural life of Chinese society and how has it changed through the years.

Serial pictures, commonly known as "picture-story books", are an outstanding type of Chinese modern art.

As reported, the exhibition is part of the "Activation of Classic Collections" series exhibition. It will last until August 31.
