Celebrating youth, a long-standing tradition in human history, also has its place in the art world. The National Art Museum of China has recently arranged an exhibition of 17 selected works, from traditional Chinese paintings to sculptures, that exemplify the glory of being young and reflect the spirit of different historical periods. The works serve to commemorate the past and inspire future generations.

The exhibition runs through Sept 26.
