This museum is to house a bevy of [sculptures, art and international paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiao-feng-art-museum) that range from the 14th century all the way to the present; according to [Design Scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-company), the museum is set to be completed by the end of 2010.
