In the summer of 2019, UCCA hosted the largest Picasso exhibition in China to date, based on the collection of the Picasso Museum in the National Paris, including 103 Picasso works, including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. Together, these works showcase the formation and evolution of Picasso's artistic creations, the most daring, original and prolific genius in modern art history.

A good art gallery should be what the children dream of. In order to allow more people, especially young children, to explore their interests in hobbies, show their unique skills, and have the opportunity to participate in UCCA's unprecedented "Picasso - the birth of a genius" exhibition. On April 25, 2019, the Beijing Ullens Art Foundation launched the first "UCCA Little Guides" charity project to openly recruit young people between the ages of 6 and 16 who love art.
