10 Art Galleries in Beijing That You Shouldn't Miss
Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

Made a special trip out to the 798 Art District - a long way out on the Metro. We went to the UCCA and discovered the Sarah Morris exhibition. Without doubt, one of the best exhibitions we had ever been to. We only had a few hours and regretted leaving - we could have spent all day there. Other exhibitions were OK but this was amazing. It was worth the trip.

This bustling area is a hub for contemporary Chinese art with a wide array of different styles. This old factory compound has been perfectly converted to house numerous galleries and bookshops & cafes.

...during the day at least. At night it becomes eerily quiet, although that can be nice too as it affords some time to explore in peace and quiet. Anyway, back to why it’s so special: East London and Brooklyn have nothing on the industrial chic of this article zone’, in terms of either scale or quality. The array of art galleries and amazing spaces is just breathtaking. Once you’ve seen the Wall and the Forbidden City, come here.

C’est l’histoire d’un reve qui a pris la forme singuliere d’un lieu. Depuis que je suis enfant, je reve d’une maison ouverte et chaleureuse dans laquelle les artistes mais aussi toutes sortes de gens se sentiraient chez eux. Une maison pour creer et transmettre.
