A multimedia exhibition was launched to mark the opening of the art space. The exhibition uses advanced multimedia technologies to give an artistic interpretation of the scenery of autumn.

Visitors are able to hear the sound of insects, catch crickets, and even wander along the leaf-strewn pathways between fields or alleys at the exhibition.

Multimedia technologies are used to recreate the natural world, allowing visitors to experience an accurate simulation of nature. [Photo/chinanews.com]

In addition, an experience center dubbed "Eye of Shanghai" will run from Oct 1 to December. Visitors will be able to experience the latest 3-D panoramic photography technology, as well as watch previews of some soon-to-be-held events such as the Banff Mountain Film Festival, an exhibition of images from National Geographic, and an exhibition of images from Wild Wonders of Europe.
