The exhibition displayed 15 professional artists’ paintings and 27 children’s paintings.

At the exhibition, there are various types of paintings such as comics, watercolor, prints, oil pastels, etc. The paintings from different angles show the architectural style and decoration of the Former Residence of Soong’s Family - Shanghai Soong Ching Ling Foundation's current workplace. The British-style villa seems to have a unique atmosphere in the four seasons and in the twilight. The paintings that described indoor scene are full of vintage feeling leading viewers associate the residents who lived in this villa a century ago.
