Through Volkswagen Group of America's corporate partnership with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the group has helped to open educational pathways for people in China to the knowledge and experience of one of the world's most renowned art institutions.

This includes the launch of a photography course in October, Seeing Through Pictures, in Mandarin. One of the museum's popular online courses, the program aims to address the gap between seeing and truly understanding photographs by introducing a diversity of ideas, approaches and technologies that inform their making.

It is based on MoMA's collection of 48 artists who have had a lasting effect on the evolution of photography over the past 180 years.

For Volkswagen Group China, its support for these activities is a natural extension of its commitment and connection to China, according to the company.
