Wuhan Art Museum, Art museum in Hankou district, Wuhan, China.
Wuhan Art Museum is an art museum in Hankou district occupying five floors across approximately 12,000 square meters. Seven exhibition halls occupy the second and third levels, connected by a central atrium with ring-shaped corridors.
The museum was founded in 1986 and relocated in 2008 to a former bank building situated between Zhongshan Avenue and Baohua Street. This move to a heritage structure marked an important shift in the institution's development.
The collection holds over a thousand works by nearly 200 artists from across China, most of them from Hubei, in traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, photography, sculpture and watercolour. Curator Wang Chunchen organised two ink-wash biennales here: Ink Attack (2017) and Ink and Object (2019).
The upper floors house administrative offices, a lecture hall, and specialized areas for artwork restoration and preservation work. Know that a significant portion of the building supports behind-the-scenes conservation activities alongside the exhibition spaces.
The museum's two ink and wash biennales were curated by Wang Chunchen: Ink Attack, the first Wuhan Ink and Wash Biennale, in 2017, and Ink and Object, the second, in 2019. The building itself was the Kincheng Bank before the conversion, and the triangular site north of it was split into two triangular volumes and a diamond-shaped plaza.
