10th anniversary, is hosting the exhibition 《For All: Chocolate, Lemonade and the Party》 through August 24.
Focusing on the theme of a “museum for
everyone,” the exhibition aims to embrace a wide range of audiences. The title—《For All: Chocolate,
Lemonade and the Party》—symbolizes the museum’s vision
of becoming an inclusive and open space: chocolate, once a luxury of the
aristocracy, is now a universally loved treat; lemonade conveys hope in
overcoming life’s bitter trials; and a party represents a joyful gathering open
to all.

Through a diverse range of media such as

the perceived barriers of contemporary art and present the museum as a more
approachable and familiar space.
