Long Museum, Art museum in West Bund district, Shanghai, China
The Long Museum is a modern art institution housed in a complex building with multiple exhibition halls displaying traditional Chinese art, contemporary works, and international collections. The spaces span two floors and provide extensive exhibition area for various art forms.
The museum was founded in 2012 by Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei, marking the beginning of one of China's largest private art institutions. Its establishment was part of a broader trend in which collectors and art enthusiasts created significant cultural spaces in major Chinese cities.
The museum displays Chinese artworks from different periods alongside international contemporary pieces, creating a dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic expressions. Visitors can observe how traditional techniques and modern concepts are presented side by side.
The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday and can be conveniently reached from Middle Longhua Road. Visitors should note that opening times can vary, so checking ahead of your visit is advisable.
The West Bund branch building was designed innovatively, incorporating former industrial structures that give the architecture an unusual character. Interestingly, this institution operates three separate locations across different parts of China.
