The exhibition marks the start of the Shanghai Printmaking Exhibition Season.
Xuhui is known as one of the roots of "haipai culture" and the name Xujiahui originated from Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) scientist and scholar Xu Guangqi, known as the first Chinese to drive cultural exchanges between East and West.
An album of Tou-Se-We printmaking works is a highlight of the display, which is a vivid reflection of cultural exchanges between the East and West and once promoted the spreading of intaglio printmaking techniques in China.
Tou-Se-We Museum in Xuhui District keeps alive a slice of the city's heritage, displaying unique multicultural items. The name of the museum comes from Shanghai dialect.
