BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- An exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up was recently presented to the public in the National Art Museum of China.

The exhibition features 101 paintings, sculptures and other works of art created since 1978, the year when reform and opening-up began, so as to provide a panoramic view of the achievements made by Chinese artists since then.

The exhibition consists of three parts, showcasing the diligence of Chinese people in the process of reform and opening-up and the massive achievements they have made, as well as the diversity of contemporary Chinese art.
