Galleries in Beijing

798 Art District is Beijing's premier contemporary art zone, a sprawling complex of repurposed 1950s East German-designed military factories transformed into galleries, studios, and creative spaces. It is China's answer to New York's SoHo or Berlin's Kreuzberg.

The Red Brick Art Museum is a stunning private contemporary art museum in Beijing's northeastern Shunyi district, designed by architect Dong Yugan using a striking round-brick constructive technique inspired by ancient kilns.

UCCA Center for Contemporary Art is China's leading contemporary art institution, housed in a dramatically renovated former factory hall within the 798 Art District. It consistently mounts exhibitions of international caliber featuring both Chinese and global artists.
