关山月美术馆

Guan Shanyue Art Museum occupies 6026 Hongli Road in Futian's civic centre, with Lianhua Mountain behind it and the municipal plaza in front. Ground was broken in January 1995 and the museum opened on 25 June 1997, on the eve of Hong Kong's return to China. Named after the Lingnan School master Guan Shanyue, it is a fully government-funded public cultural institution. Guan donated 813 representative works spanning his career together with personal, artistic and teaching papers, and the Shenzhen government spent RMB 67 million on the building to preserve them. The site covers 8,000 square metres with 15,100 square metres of floor area; galleries total 3,600 square metres indoors plus 2,000 square metres of outdoor display space, arranged as a circular central hall, five standard galleries and two permanent Guan Shanyue rooms, with roughly 500 metres each of fixed and temporary hanging space. The collection holds more than 5,600 works, and the academic focus is Guan Shanyue, mid- and late-20th-century Chinese art and contemporary design. It was named one of the first nine national key art museums in 2011. The museum forms part of Futian's cultural cluster with the Shenzhen Concert Hall, central library and Children's Palace, a short walk from Children's Palace metro station. It also plans and hosts large national art exhibitions and runs a continuing programme of research, publishing and public education around Guan Shanyue and the Lingnan School.
