       The Parkview Museum is located in Singapore, but with a Chinese background and a European project, it connects the art in Europe, China and Southeast Asia. The Parkview Art Museum of Singapore, although built in a short period of time, is highly efficient and has a long span, spanning the two coasts and three regions.

Director of the Yalu River Art Museum: Ji Dahai

       Director Ji Dahai introduced the experience of the Yalu River Art Museum in exploring how private art museums in marginal areas can speak effectively and how to do non-marginal exhibitions in marginal areas. This paper expounds the concept that "Annual Art Museum" is the main exhibition for only one artist every year, and the original intention of naming the art museum after the artist, and introduces the concept of annual exhibition from the perspective of providing new possibilities for artists in the way of art presentation. In the future, the Yalu River Art Museum will pay more attention to the planning of international contemporary art projects in Northeast Asia.
