Other inaugural exhibitions are Light: Works From Tate's Collection, and Joan Miro: Women, Birds, Stars. A special showcase of Ophelia by British artist Everett Millais, which features the painting as well as the immortal character in Shakespeare's play Hamlet and its cultural relevance during the time of its creation, is also taking place at MAP.

Tate Museum of the United Kingdom is the operations consultant and partner for MAP. Neil McConnon, director of international partnerships at Tate, says: "The exhibition Light is the culmination of several years of collaboration with colleagues across Tate and MAP. It is exciting to see this world-class institution being realized and demonstrates the importance and impact of international cultural and artistic exchange."
