The Zhejiang Art Museum is located on Nanshan Road by the West Lake. It backs onto Wansongling and faces the West Lake. It is secluded yet imposing.
There are often some quite significant painting exhibitions and design exhibitions here. It’s hard to believe that these precious works are free to visit.
The art museum has four floors. The Lu Xiaguang Art Exhibition Room on the fourth floor has a fixed display exhibition. The exhibition is divided into two parts. The main exhibition hall allows you to learn about Lu Xiaguang’s life and his early paintings. The auxiliary exhibition hall rotates to display various countries’ paintings, cultural play objects and handicrafts collected by him during his lifetime.
What attracts people here is actually those high-level temporary exhibitions. The Zhejiang Art Museum has more than ten exhibition halls. In the past, it mainly exhibited traditional art, such as the exhibition of calligraphy by Master Hongyi and the Dunhuang art exhibition. In recent years, exhibitions on contemporary art are becoming more and more frequent. These exhibitions are all worthy of appreciation and savoring.
Even if you are not an art expert, taking a walk in the museum to feel the artistic atmosphere or sitting in the museum’s cafe and bookstore is also very artistic and comfortable.
The previews and reviews of temporary exhibitions in the museum can be found on the official website of the art museum. Before departure, pay attention to the exhibition news so as not to miss the exhibitions you are interested in.The art museum frequently hosts free lectures on weekends, featuring many prominent figures in the art world.
