The two-week Art Forum Hungary opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in the centre of Shanghai on Monday, just one day after a Hungarian national day had been held at the Shanghai expo.

Art Forum Hungary feature an exhibition of photographs by Robert Capa, a collection of works by young Hungarian photographers and animation films by Marcell Jankovics and Geza M. Toth. 
An interactive "musical tent" set up on the museum's ground floor and displaying hand-written musical scores gives visitors an introduction to contemporary Hungarian music. 

Also on display are costumes created jointly by fashion designers Kati Zoob from Hungary and Li Chien Chi from China.

The MoCA also pays tribute to Laszlo Hudec, who used to be the chief architect of Shanghai in the 1930s, designing  several buildings in the city.
