The audio-visual effects and interactive installations enable people to experience the charm of the murals in a unique way.
Mural paintings in Shigatse between the 13th and 15th centuries are rarely known to the public, but are regarded as "painting masterpieces of landmark significance," the bureau said.
Art museum staff spent two years visiting Shigatse many times and studied historic documents to present the display.
This year marks the 27th year of Shanghai's assistance of Shigatse.
The free exhibition, held at 1413 Huaihai Road M., will run through May 22.
