Chinadaily.com has reported on a 'Feeding Frenzy' at the Museum of Pudong in Shanghai's recently opened loan exhibition entitled Paths to Modernity: Masterpieces from the Musee d'Orsay, Paris.
According to the article:
[The exhibition] is so popular that "even Van Gogh cannot squeeze into his own bedroom in Arles" [...]
People gather before the most recognizable key highlights, such as Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles and The Gleaners by Jean-Francois Millet, to take pictures and selfies.
"There is such a huge crowd in front of Van Gogh's bedroom that I don't think the artist himself could manage to get in there if he were alive today," says Da Yue, a user of the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, or RedNote.
The show will run until 12th October 2025.
