After receiving these valuable donated works, our museum has displayed them in various ways and in several cities of China, which are all well-received. Today, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of National Art Museum of China, we hold “The Ludwigs Donated International Work Selection Exhibition” again. The exhibition carefully selects 65 pieces of works, which are categorized into 3 parts by geographic location-Western Europe, Eastern Europe and America. The works on show cover religious legends, historical events and every aspects of social life. Viewers can understand European American culture, development of modern art as well as art traditions and cultural character of different regions through comparison to regional cultural differences and similarities reflected by the works.
As a beneficiary of the donation, we will continue to promote the spread of these collections and have more people appreciate the present from it, which is both the wish of Ludwig couple and the purpose of NAMOC. Reviewing these hard-won works, we will forever remember the names of the donors-Peter Ludwig and Irene Ludwig.
