A display of the State Russian Museum's collections is exhibited at the Qingdao Jinmao Harbor Shopping Center in Shinan district, Qingdao until July 2.

It is the first time that these precious artworks have been exhibited outside a museum since the State Russian Museum's virtual branch in Qingdao recently opened in Shinan.

Shinan district has a slew of lesser-known museums in addition to various State-owned ones. Let's have a look.
