CAFA Art Museum

The CAFA Art Museum is an art museum in Chaoyang that spans three floors with multiple galleries displaying contemporary work, photography, and classical Chinese paintings. The collection brings together different mediums and styles across its exhibition areas.

The museum was founded in 1953 as an educational facility of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Over time it evolved into a major public venue for presenting art exhibitions.

The museum brings together Chinese artistic traditions with contemporary international work in its exhibitions. Visitors encounter this blend directly as they move through spaces where classical and modern pieces are shown side by side.

The museum is easily accessible from different parts of Chaoyang and has multiple entrances to serve visitors efficiently. Allow time to explore all three floors if you want to see the full range of works on display.

The building's geometry allows natural light to create shifting viewing conditions throughout the day in the galleries. This means the same artwork can look quite different depending on when you visit or which time of day you walk through the spaces.
