Ordos Museum, Museum in Kang Bashi District, China.
The Ordos Museum is an art museum in the Kang Bashi district, housed in a metal-clad structure that spans six levels with exhibition rooms. The interior design uses wide staircases, bridges, and a glass roof to connect different levels and make the space bright and open.
The museum began construction in 2008 and opened in 2011 after the metal panels and frame were completed in about 15 months. This fast building timeline allowed the facility to quickly become a cultural center in the city.
The exhibition rooms display archaeological finds and regional objects that document the development of Inner Mongolia over time. Visitors see here crafts, tools, and personal items that reveal the daily life of earlier inhabitants of this region.
Visitors should allow enough time to explore all six levels since the wide staircases and bridges, while comfortable, require a thorough visit. The glass roof construction means that lighting varies depending on the time of day and weather, which affects viewing the exhibited pieces.
The museum's outer metal panels reflect the surrounding desert landscape and change appearance throughout the day depending on the sun position and light angles. Photographers will find particularly interesting perspectives of the shifting facade during early morning and late evening hours.
