From now to September 28, 2020, the Prada Milano Foundation will hold the "Porcelain Art Space" porcelain exhibition from China. This is the first porcelain exhibition held by the Prada Milano Foundation. It is the first time that the number of exhibits is the largest in history and has a major history. Significant collection of precious collections from the "first order" period.

More than 1,700 Chinese export porcelain exhibits are borrowed from many museums and collectors, spanning the 16th to 19th centuries. Some porcelains are the only ones of this kind in the world.

The curators Jorge Welsh and Luísa Vinhais hope that the exhibition will explore the lasting influence of Chinese porcelain on a global scale from an aesthetic and historical perspective.

As a domestic audience, in 2019, mainland China also held some exhibitions about export porcelain. But the curator of this exhibition, Jorge Welsh/Luísa Vinhais, introduced in an interview with Artron.com. Unlike other exhibitions, this time the focus is not only on the theme, but also when art from different periods and different forms gather together. Dialogue and discussion of the relationship between them. Secondly, this exhibition is a contemporary interpretation of "ceramic art spaces" to display porcelain. These "ceramic art spaces" have developed all over the world (from the Swahili coast in Africa to many European countries) and It still has eternal appeal until present today.
