Long Museum West Bund, Contemporary art museum in West Bund district, Shanghai, China.
The Long Museum West Bund is an art museum along the West Bund promenade in Shanghai with a modern concrete building and distinctive arched roof structures. The building spans four exhibition levels with thousands of square meters of gallery space for photographs, art installations, and other contemporary works.
The museum was built on the site of a coal transport hub from the 1950s and incorporates original elements from this industrial past into its modern design. The location thus connects the region's industrial history with contemporary art presentation.
The museum presents works by Chinese and international artists from its founders' collection, showcasing contemporary exhibitions that engage visitors with modern perspectives. The presentations focus on current art forms and allow people to connect with today's artistic movements.
The museum is located along the Huangpu riverbank and is easily reached by metro, making a visit convenient. The entrance is accessible just like the gallery spaces, so all visitors can explore the collections.
The museum features an underground gallery with white walls that connects to the upper levels through spiral staircases. This hidden space offers a completely different view of the artwork and creates a more immersive experience.
