Changchun World Sculpture Park will bring in two original works - Balzac and Bronze Age - by Francois-Auguste-Rene Rodin from France's Rodin Museum in September. They will be displayed alongside Rodin's The Thinker, which is already in the park, at Rodin Square, near the park's main entrance.
Since 1997, Jilin's provincial capital Changchun has staged 11 international sculpture exhibitions. This year, the park has brought together the greatest number of artists yet - 111 sculptors from 101 countries and regions around the world.
And thanks to donations by Li Songshan and Han Rong, a couple living in Africa for more than 40 years, visitors can take a close look at more than 1,000 original African wood, bronze, stone and mud sculptures in the park's new African Art Museum.
