The Chengdu Contemporary Art Museum, also known as 成都当代美术馆, is a contemporary art institution in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in Southwest China. It is located at 309 Kegong 2nd Road in the Tianfu New Area, a planned district on the city's southern edge.
What to expect
The museum presents rotating exhibitions, so what you see on one visit may differ from the next. Its programme brings together modern Chinese artists and international artists, which makes it a useful place to see how contemporary art is being made and shown in this part of the country.
- Rotating exhibitions of modern Chinese and international work
- Contemporary art from Southwest China and beyond
- A focused visit, suited to those who enjoy galleries and modern art
Planning your visit
Because the exhibitions change, it is worth checking what is on before you set out. The museum can be reached by phone at +86-28-85339018. The Tianfu New Area is a newer district, so you may find it more spacious and less crowded than the older centre of Chengdu, and it is a good choice if you want to combine a gallery visit with a stroll through a modern urban setting.
If you are interested in art, the museum offers a clear reason to visit Chengdu beyond its better-known attractions.
