The World Press Photo Exhibition is coming to Shanghai

The exhibit is scheduled to travel to over 100 cities around the globe, with an estimated 2.5 million iewing the photographs, and it will be stopping in Shanghai from July 3 to 24 at the Songjiang Art Museum. The show features the winning works of the World Press Photo Contest, showcasing the most interesting, creative images of illustrious photojournalists from the past year. The exhibit, most recently shown in Moscow, The Netherlands, Chile and New York City, opens Wednesday at 10am. It's a little out of the way, we know, but we think it will be worth the trip. Shanghai-based Ariana Lindquist who won first prize in the Arts and Entertainments section of the awards will be exhibiting her works.

Songjiang Art Museum, No. 601, Lane 900, Sanxin Road North, Songjiang District

This is great news, the winners in that competition are generally amazing (although I don't know so much about the "Spot news" winner last year which seemed to have been made by someone who dropped their cellphone)

it would be great news, if it was actually there. we went all the way to songjiang today and couldn't find it!

what a bummer.
