Is it correct to say like this?
Many people are going to see the picture when it is displayed.

Hi,

Yes, that's fine if you are referring to 'picture' as a single painting/photograph and not a film.

Dear mr. Alan. I think MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE THE PICTURE WHICH IS GOING TO BE DISPLAYED is better, isn't it?

Hi Vietanhpham_Winter,

It's just another way of saying it. I don't think it's worse or better.

But the word WHEN sounds a bit clumsy as sooner or later, the picture will be displayed. I also the tense. I didn't know why he used present simple but not intention future or simple future.

Hi,

I can't in all honesty agree that 'when' sounds clumsy.
