The Black Myth: Wukong Art Exhibition in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province, offers an immersive journey into the game's universe. Featuring over 900 pieces – including concept art, models and life-sized sculptures – the exhibition brings to life iconic characters such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie (Pigsy), and the headless monk with meticulous detail, down to individual strands of hair. As a concurrent event to the 21st China International Cartoon and Animation Festival held from May 29 to June 2 in the same city, this showcase exemplifies the integration of digital artistry and tangible craftsmanship.

The exhibition is open at the Art Museum of the China Academy of Art until July 25.
