Description

Built during the early 1950s, this main hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts was a Communist monolith, displaying Red Guard-influenced pieces. Now, it holds temporary and permanent exhibitions of modern Chinese painting, calligraphy, prints and sculpture. Recently, foreign artists have been invited to hold exhibitions of their work. A well-stocked print and art supplies shop is located within the gallery. Call for information on what is currently being shown.
