德基美术馆

Deji Art Museum, accredited as a museum in 2023, occupies the eighth floor of Deji Plaza Phase II at 18 Zhongshan Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It opened to the public on 26 September 2017 as a non-profit art institution founded by the Deji Group and covers about 9,000 square metres. Its position at the crossing of Nanjing's “museum avenue” and the Xinjiekou retail district anchors a collection built over nearly three decades, spanning ancient Chinese ceramics, painting and calligraphy, Buddhist sculpture, Ming furniture, and modern and contemporary art from China and abroad. The permanent “Jinling Scroll” digital exhibition is based on Feng Ning's Qing-dynasty copy of a Song-era view of Nanjing and uses ultra-wideband tracking so visitors can enter the painting in first person; other displays draw on the flower-themed collection and digital art by Beeple. The museum is known for staying open until midnight, seven days a week from 10:00 to 24:00, and is developing a multi-venue network with Hexi and Xianlin buildings under construction. Telephone 025-86777999, email dejiartmuseum@dejicic.com; Xinjiekou metro station (lines 1 and 2), Exit 7. A shop, café and public lounges support late-night visits, which have become part of Nanjing's city life. Its exhibitions balance scholarly research with a strongly public-facing tone, from blockbuster loan shows to collection displays.
