China Art Museum has partnered with Alibaba’s smart eyewear Qwen Glasses to explore a new AI-powered exhibition experience, aiming to make art viewing more interactive and informative. The collaboration focuses on smart navigation, intelligent explanations, and personalized viewing paths that help visitors better understand artworks.
The new experience will debut at the exhibition “Tribute to Masters: From Leonardo da Vinci to Caravaggio — Masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance,” opening to the public on April 28 at the China Art Museum. Visitors wearing Qwen Glasses will be able to receive real-time information while viewing artworks, making the exhibition experience more natural and immersive.

When visitors pause in front of a painting, the glasses can provide background information, artistic details, and contextual explanations. Users can also ask questions directly with voice commands, such as “Who is the figure in this painting?” or “Why is this work important?” The Glasses can then offer insights into the artist, the historical context, and the artistic style behind the work, turning the viewing process into a dialogue with the artwork.
Leveraging Alibaba’s advanced AI technologies, the collaboration aims to integrate new technology to seamlessly help audience to approach art with ease and better understand the stories behind the works.
Last month, Alibaba debuted Qwen Glasses at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona, accelerating its wearable AI strategy and unifying its AI ecosystem under the flagship Qwen brand.
Powered by Alibaba’s Qwen AI models, the Glasses provide intelligent, hands-free AI assistance for everyday life, combining voice and vision to enable real-time AI interactions such as visual taking, instant price recognition, on-the-go translation, near-eye navigation, AI-generated transcription and AI payment etc.
According to the latest data from Wellsenn XR, a vertical research firm specializing in the smart glasses industry, Alibaba’s Qwen Glasses have captured a 53% market share in China by cumulative online sales since their official launch on March 8. It currently leads the category on China’s online commerce platforms including Taobao and Douyin, contributing to its overall No. 1 ranking across the major e-commerce ecosystem.
