As the opening ceremony of the exhibition was around China's Mid-Autumn Festival, an evening gala celebrating the traditional festival was staged at the center as well. Folk music and dances presented by a troupe from Zhejiang Song and Dance Theater impressed the French audience with much festivity.

The exhibition is scheduled to last until Oct 26.
