Shanghai Himalayas Museum

Located at the Himalayas Center, a landmark in Shanghai designed by Arata Isozaki, the new site of the museum was opened to public in 2012.

Other than the main space in Pudong, the museum also has two branch spaces. Zendai Contemporary Art Space is located at Wuwei Creative Park in northeast Shanghai. Covering an area of 2,000sqm, the space consists of galleries and artist studios, and focuses on the study and exploration of experimental and avant-garde art. Zendai Zhujiajiao Art Museum is located at Zhujiajiao town, a picturesque water-town suburb southeast of central Shanghai. Covering an area of 400sqm, the two-storey art museum consists of en-suite artist studios, galleries and a conference room. The space runs an artist-in-residence programme and organizes a variety of public art programmes targeting at local community.

Exhibitions

Since 2011, the museum has presented a series of international art projects including “Designing Design / The Exhibition of Kenya Hara in China 2011”, “Tony Cragg: Sculptures and Drawings”, Ink Art Exhibition Series, “Ateliers – Ofer Lellouche Solo Exhibition” , 2014 John Moores Painting Prize (China) Exhibition, solo exhibitions of Sean Scully and Michael Craig-Martin, and "Welcome to My Life - Moving Image from the Collection of Isabelle and Jean-Conrad Lemaître".
