Shenzhou 21 Crew Holds Art Exhibition | China Space Station
An art exhibition featuring 80 paintings by teenagers was held simultaneously on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, aboard China's orbiting Tiangong Space Station, orbiting about 400 kilometers above Earth, and at the Capital Museum in Beijing.
The artworks, themed "Role Models in My Heart," were displayed and introduced by the Shenzhou-21 crew, comprised of mission commander Zhang Lu and astronauts Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang, during their mission aboard the space station.
The event launched its call for entries in July 2025, selecting 80 paintings from a pool of over 15,000 submissions from teens across the country. On October 31, 2025, the selected works were sent to the Chinese space station aboard the Shenzhou-21 crewed spacecraft.
It is the fifth painting exhibition held aboard the Tiangong space station.
Additionally, the offline exhibition at the Capital Museum brings together works displayed during the first five editions of the exhibition, making it the first comprehensive showcase of all five collections. The exhibition will run until May 24.
