On May 18, International Museum Day, Chinese short-video platform Kuaishou and

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), co-launched a shoppable livestream event to

virtually explore MFA's collection of paintings by Claude Monet (1840–1926).

Themed "Rendezvous with Claude Monet: Bring Beauty to Life", the 4-hour

livestream session received nearly 8 million views.

The livestreaming session showcases the development of Monet's incomparable

vision and revolutionary techniques in Monet's painting. Wang Yuheng, China's

TV star in Super Brain 3 with extraordinary memory and 4 million followers on

Weibo, and Ms Mi, one of Kuaishou's anchor user that stroke the bell to

announce Kuaishou's official listing, co-hosted the session with MFA narrators

online. Published on 5 live channels, the event recorded more than 4.8 million

views and 2 million likes in total.

During the interactive tutorial, viewers were be able to shop from an amazing

assortment of exclusive art collaborations, including MFA's Monet Art Tees and

aroma sets, Bestore's probiotic nuts, and Genuine Namir's yeast facial

treatment. The session allowed an all-round sensual gratification for viewers

to feel the development of Monet's incomparable vision, while bringing art and

culture into their home.

Beyond the entertainment and education, viewers also found a seamless shopping

experience. Besides from voting to decide the presentation order, viewers got a

chance to win the lottery by commenting or sharing the livestream on social

media. The session also gave out money-off coupons. With the tap on any product

pin, viewers could add items to their carts while watching and checked out

during or after the event.

With the theme "The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine", International

Museum Day 2021 advocates for the creative potential of culture as a driver for

recovery and innovation in the post-COVID era. MFA and Kuaishou has provided

new and hybrid models of cultural fruition and dissemination that brings its

community great joy and inspiration.
