American photojournalist Eve Arnold was one of the first western photographers to enter communist China. She made her visit in 1979, at a time when its government was opening up to the outside world, and the exhibition shows a remarkable set of 40 of photos from this trip.

The images are a candid look at the country and its people and range from militia training in Mongolia and rice gleaning in Hsishuang Panna, to performing artists and noodle making.
