X美术馆

X Museum was founded in 2020 by collectors Michael Xufu Huang and Xie Qirun and opened on 29 May 2020 in the Cuigezhuang international art and finance district of Chaoyang District, Beijing, with the inaugural X Triennial, Terminal >_How Do We Begin?. On 27 May 2023 it moved into Hall E1, Warehouse 10, at Langyuan Station, 53 Banjie Tower Road, converting an old textile warehouse into a museum of about 3,000 square metres. Studio NOR designed the new venue, keeping traces of earlier alterations on the facade and introducing grey zigzag gallery walls, a double-height hall and flexible rooms, with an art shop, café and restaurant that can operate independently of exhibition hours. That mix is deliberate: the founders describe the building as a lifestyle space that can hold many kinds of activity, not only exhibitions. The programme studies and promotes Chinese contemporary culture and international exchange, with an emphasis on young and cross-disciplinary artists; it includes the X Triennial, collection shows, the X Virtual digital platform and The Pool by X Museum, opened at Qiantan Taikoo Li in Shanghai in 2024. The site lies between the Ba River and Liangma River inside Langyuan Station, a campus of design, media and food businesses, and suits exhibitions, pop-ups, launches and parties. Opening hours are 10:00 to 18:00 daily, with last entry at 17:30; group bookings on 18500760310.
