Beijing Zoo is one of the most visited entertainment parks in the world. The Museum of Animal Art will open on 20 June 2018. It will gather and exhibit artworks with animal themes, educate visitors and promote loving and caring relationships with the animals. The exhibitions will feature animal-themed artworks, including paintings, sculptures, designs, and photography.
