UCCA is the anchor institution of the 798 Art Zone, housed in a converted Bauhaus-era factory and consistently presenting the most ambitious contemporary art exhibitions in China. Shows rotate frequently and have included major international and Chinese artists at the forefront of global contemporary art. The building itself — raw concrete, soaring ceilings, industrial skylights — is part of the experience. Skip the surrounding 798 tourist shops and focus your time inside UCCA.
