（2015年12月24日）目前正在上海喜玛拉雅美术馆“敦煌：生灵的歌”展出中的敦煌最早窟室之一北凉第275窟复制窟将于2016年1月4日提前撤离上海，元旦三天小长假将是最后观看此窟的时机。

此次来到上海展的8个窟室中，北凉第275窟是莫高窟最早的洞窟之一，其建筑形制为长方形殿堂窟，窟正壁（西壁）塑高3.40米的弥勒菩萨像，扬掌交脚坐狮子座上，是敦煌众窟室中鲜有的交脚坐菩萨。

据主办方消息，该窟室本由于紧张的展出安排最初并未包含在此次上海展中，经其与敦煌研究院的协商，最终达成近一个月的展出安排。此后，该窟室将先返回敦煌，为其5月份美国盖蒂博物馆的展出做提前运输等准备。北凉275窟提前撤除后，美术馆将以纪录片以及线上展示的方式，继续为公众展示其艺术魅力。

此次上海喜玛拉雅美术馆的“敦煌：生灵的歌”展览是近年来最大型的敦煌展览，包含8个在敦煌也未全开放的最具艺术价值敦煌石窟，16件国家一级文物，敦煌学的奠基者常书鸿、段文杰等人的临摹作品等共计165件来自敦煌的珍品，也是敦煌研究院首次在国内与民营美术馆合作，并将当代艺术的新鲜血液带入展览之中。除引进专业来自敦煌的导览员每天定时安排免费导览之外，美术馆亦在每周三延长开放至晚间9点，并组织呈现不同的特别活动。

开展以来，整个江浙沪地区亦是掀起一股敦煌热，喜玛拉雅美术馆门口也是常常排起长队。主办方建议合理安排观展时间，完整看完此展览至少需要2个小时，如能安排平日观展的观众，建议平日参观，一来门票相对便宜，二来人流相比周末较宽松，等候时间也相比较短。此展览将持续至2016年3月20日，但想要看275窟的观众，请抓住最后时机。
