The third Jinan International Biennale opened on Dec 15, with exhibitions held at the Shandong Art Museum and the Jinan Art Museum.

With the theme "The Age of Human Wisdom", the biennale presents 291 works by 215 artists from 21 countries and regions and will run until April 2025.

This year's event is characterized by a stronger focus on societal themes, a wider range of artistic categories, and a bold, innovative structure that deepens the integration of art, culture, and tourism.

Jinan Art Museum, one of the main venues, emphasizes the city's cultural heritage through works inspired by local landmarks such as the Simen Tower and Jinan's old railway station, as well as the city's virtual mascot.

By merging traditional culture with technologies like artificial intelligence, holography, and 3D printing, the exhibition explores the intersection of human emotions and technological advancements.
