Shenzhen Art Museum 深圳美术馆 

Shenzhen Art Museum, formerly known as Shenzhen Exhibition Hall, was founded in 1976 and officially renamed Shenzhen Art Museum after approval from the municipal government in 1987 and following the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The museum covers a total area of 5,500 square meters with a floor space of 2,800 square meters and an exhibition area of 1,200 square meters.

Since its establishment, the Shenzhen Art Museum has been able to effectively take advantage of its proximity to Hong Kong and Macao, offering visitors an insightful “cultural window” through hosting various activities and promoting artistic exchanges both domestically and abroad. In 2002, the Shenzhen Art Museum began placing greater emphasis on “focusing on contemporary urban and domestic art” as its main academic target. Each year the museum hosts two events, the ‘China Contemporary Art Thematic Exhibition’ and the ‘Shenzhen Local Art Thematic Exhibition,’ which help to shap a positive and reputable image of what a city museum can provide. More recently, the Shenzhen Art Museum has continued to strive towards providing a complete range of services for professional artists, art lovers and the general public – presenting a comprehensive window into the world of art. It continues to actively develop and build its image through creating a fully public service-oriented art museum for everyone to enjoy.
