Li Zijian Art Museum, Art museum in Yuelu District, China.
The Li Zijian Art Museum is a large art institution in Yuelu District with multiple exhibition halls spread across its grounds. The collections include oil paintings, sketches, and calligraphy works, each displayed in dedicated spaces throughout the facility.
The museum was founded in 2014 and opened to the public in 2016. It grew to become an important venue for displaying Chinese artworks and artistic methods.
The museum is named after Li Zijian, who funded it with his wife Dan Hui. Its halls pair his oil paintings with over 50 sketches by his first teacher Chen Xichuan and one-stroke calligraphy by Master Hsing Yun, whose works Li Zijian donated.
The museum sits near natural green spaces and is easy to reach for visitors who want to take their time exploring the exhibitions. It makes sense to set aside several hours to properly view the different galleries and collections.
In July 2017 the World Record Certification Agency (WRCA) recognised the museum as the world's largest art museum devoted to a single artist. Its site covers 120,000 square metres, with 25,000 square metres of building floor space.
