Award-winning sculptures displayed at Anhui park

Recent decades have seen not only more Chinese people visiting museums and art galleries but art and artists are shortening the distance between their work and people's daily lives.

Thirty-four sculptures by artists from home and abroad now enrich the views at Wuhu Sculpture Park in Wuhu, Anhui province. The display, scheduled to last a year, shows winning works from the seventh Liu Kaiqu Awards, named after the eminent late sculptor and art educator.

A permanent showcase at the newly-opened Wuhu Sculpture Art Museum also brings together reduced models of the works which previously won awards.
