SHANGHAI, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- An exhibition of murals created in the 13th-15th century in Shigatse, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, opened in Shanghai on Friday.
The exhibition, operated by Shanghai's Xuhui Art Museum, offers the public a glimpse of the ancient murals using multi-media technology and showcases the cultural fusion of the Tibetan art form inspired by the artworks of the Han ethnic group.
Nearly 30 exhibits are high-precision duplicates of classic artworks in the Sakya Monastery, Shalu Monastery, and the Palkhor Chode Monastery.
