LSE Arts public exhibition
Date: Wednesday 6 April – Friday 22 April 2016
Time: Mon-Fri 10am-8pm
Venue: Atrium Gallery, Old Building
To mark the 50th anniversary of the start of China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), this exhibit explores the everyday experience of revolution and reform through cultural artifacts that give a tactile sense of the dramatic changes Chinese people have experienced since 1966.
A short film accompanying the exhibition is available to view at: Collecting China
The exhibit is based primarily on collections from LSE staff, and is curated by Professor William A. Callahan, International Relations Department, LSE.
This exhibition is open to all, no ticket required. Visitors are welcome during weekdays (Monday - Friday) between 10am and 8pm (excluding bank holidays, when the school is closed, at Christmas and Easter, or unless otherwise stated on the web listing).

Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies, the annual LSE photo prize competition, the LSE Literary Festival and artist-in-residence projects. For more information please view the LSE Arts website.
