Visitors claim free drinks at the retro-style “corner shop” at Shenzhen Museum.

Visitors to the Shenzhen Museum’s History and Folk Culture division this week can pick up complimentary soft drinks at an activity room behind the giant elephant sculpture in the museum lobby.

Inside the room, a retro-style “corner shop” has been set up where visitors can take photos and claim drinks. The pop-up is a collaboration between the museum and Shenzhen Cereals Holdings Co., Ltd., marking the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
