China Comic and Animation Museum, Comic and animation museum in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, China

The China Comic and Animation Museum is a white building shaped like auspicious clouds on the shore of Baima Lake in Hangzhou's Binjiang District. It covers 30,382 square metres and has six above-ground floors and one basement level. Inside are four permanent exhibition halls, a theatre, classrooms, a library and an esports area.

Hangzhou began planning the museum in 2009, with an opening first scheduled for 2013. The original design, six mushroom-shaped buildings inspired by speech bubbles, was dropped over construction and safety problems and redesigned in 2013. Work started on 20 December 2014 and finished on 28 December 2020; the museum opened on 26 June 2021.

The museum's name, dongman, combines the Chinese words for animation and comic. Its four permanent halls are titled "Animation: Your Reverie", "Your Memories", "Your Today" and "Your Future"; the second traces Chinese animation from the 1930s to the end of the 20th century, while the third covers comics in everyday Chinese life. Temporary shows have featured Zhejiang cartoonists and the animation archive of Marie-Claire Kuo-Quiquemelle.

The museum opens Wednesday to Sunday, 9:30 to 16:30, with last entry at 16:00; it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays but stays open on mainland Chinese public holidays. Admission is free, yet entry requires a booking made in advance through the museum's WeChat account. The building has six floors above ground and one below, with four permanent exhibition halls, a theatre, classrooms, a library and an esports area.

The building's form was inspired by speech bubbles: the first design, from 2009, consisted of six mushroom-shaped blocks of different sizes. It was dropped in 2013 over construction and safety problems, and the museum was redesigned before work began on 20 December 2014. The white, cloud-shaped building was completed on 28 December 2020.
