Sea World Culture and Arts Center

The Sea World Culture and Arts Center spans 73,918 square meters with a sculptural podium for museum exhibits and three extending volumes for theater, dining, and events.

Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki created his first Chinese building in 2017 through a partnership between China Merchants Group and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The center contains the Shekou Museum of Reform and Opening Up and the V&A Gallery, managed by Design Society in collaboration with international institutions.

Visitors can access the center through three distinct areas: the Culture Plaza with its theater, the Central Plaza with retail spaces, and the Waterfront Plaza.

The building features different stones for each plaza section: red Indian sandstone, white Sivec marble, and blue Azul Bahia granite marking separate functional zones.
