何香凝美术馆

He Xiangning Art Museum stands at 9013 Shennan Avenue in the OCT cultural district of Nanshan District, Shenzhen. Approved by the central government in May 1995 and opened on 18 April 1997, it is China's first national-level art museum named after an individual and now operates as a public institution under the United Front Work Department. The three-storey building covers more than 5,000 square metres, finished in grey and white, and contains a main gallery, secondary galleries, a lecture hall, education areas, a café-bookshop, collection and archive stores, a library and a mounting studio. Its core mandate is to collect, display and research He Xiangning's art and documentary legacy, while its programme also covers traditional Chinese art, overseas Chinese art, women's art and international contemporary practice. The museum sits within the OCT cultural quarter, a short walk from OCT metro station (Exit C) and close to Splendid China and Window of the World, making it easy to combine with other visits. It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 to 17:00, closes on Mondays except public holidays, and asks groups of 20 or more to book ahead on +86 755 26604540. As one of Shenzhen's earliest public art museums, it combines a national collection and research role with a busy public programme. The museum's name was inscribed by Jiang Zemin. A permanent He Xiangning display is complemented by research exhibitions, lectures, workshops and guided tours for schools and community groups.
