Known forfine artmodern Chinese artcultural institutioncentral location
China's flagship fine arts institution holds the country's most important collection of modern and contemporary Chinese painting, sculpture, and printmaking. The rotating special exhibitions often feature major retrospectives of celebrated Chinese artists that are genuinely difficult to see elsewhere. The permanent collection of 20th-century ink painting and socialist realist works is historically fascinating. Signage is primarily in Chinese, so a translation app is helpful.
