Jin said it will set the tone for future exhibitions at the museum.

Both Jin and the deputy director, Zhang Zuying, stressed the museum's professionalism. It houses fewer than 200 works by Chinese oil painters, equivalent to a medium-sized museum in the West.

Jin said future exhibitions will focus on works by talented Chinese oil painters and high-quality oil painting collections from museums overseas.

The museum is in Guozijian Street, an ancient hutong that is home to other museums.
