MINISO has officially opened the world's first IP Gallery at Bund City Hall Plaza in Shanghai. The new exhibition space debuted on 17 May with Life from the Corner of My Room, a solo exhibition by Indonesian contemporary artist Ryo Laksamana (RYOL), MINISO's first global exclusive artist.
Created as a dedicated platform for IP-driven artistic expression, the gallery supports emerging artists through exhibitions, creative collaborations and long-term IP development. The launch reflects continued investment in original intellectual property as its global retail network expands to more than 8,000 stores across over 100 countries and regions.
Located in Shanghai's historic Bund district, the gallery aims to connect contemporary art with a wider global audience. RYOL's inaugural exhibition, running through August 31, features paintings, sculptures, and installations that explore themes of childhood, emotion, and everyday life through his signature pop-surrealist style.
MINISO plans to expand the gallery concept to major cultural hubs including Hong Kong, Beijing, Tokyo, Paris and New York, creating more opportunities for artists and original IPs to reach global audiences.
