The building facade and the ground are both made of Shandong white granite, and the internal space and decoration are inspired by Malevich’s classic geometric lines. As a state-owned public art museum, Pudong Art Museum is an important measure to create the ‘Shanghai culture’ brand. It shoulders the cultural mission and social responsibility entrusted by the municipal and district governments. It focuses on international art exhibition and exchanges while taking into account domestic art exhibitions. It highlights four functions of exhibitions, aesthetic education, cultural and creative products, and international exchanges.
