The First National Exhibition of Sculpture featuring 590 sculptures was unveiled at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing on Sept 6.

The pieces are from 316 different artists, displaying the achievements of Chinese sculptors in the past 100 years.

Through three-dimensional scanning and printing technology, the relief on the Monument to the People's Heroes was also featured at the exhibition.

About 30 statue heads, once prepared for the clay sculpture Anger of Serf that was finished in 1974, were brought to the exhibition from Tibet.
