Visitors take in Thomas Canto’s mirrored sculpture at J7 Art Museum, whose 2024 inaugural show ‘A Posture of Space’ won Larry’s List’s Outstanding Newly Opened Art Space Award. Founded by collector Joyce Deng, the Shanghai space is one of three collector-run museums in the city driving the region's next-gen private museum boom. Image: J7 Art Museum
