龙美术馆（重庆馆）

The Long Museum's Chongqing branch occupies the first to third floors of the Guohua Financial Centre, No. 9 Juxianyan Square, Jiangbeizui, Jiangbei District, Chongqing, on the tip of the Jiangbeizui central business district facing the Yuzhong peninsula across the rivers. It is the third Long Museum after the Pudong and West Bund venues in Shanghai, and by the museum's own account the city's first international-standard collection display and exchange centre, founded by the collectors Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei and opened on 26 May 2016, with Wang Wei as director and chief curator. The museum is built into the podium of the Guohua twin towers and covers about 12,000 sqm (another account gives about 10,000 sqm of floor area) over three levels with three galleries. The main gallery uses a duplex structure with a 7 m clear height and focuses respectively on traditional Chinese art, revolutionary-themed painting and modern and contemporary art, suiting large canvases, sculpture and installation. Ancillary spaces include an art-derivative shop, a children's education area, a reading room and a multi-function hall, and the programme deliberately mixes art into the working day of the office towers through lectures for business audiences and family workshops. The opening exhibition, "A Century of Art", selected 133 works from 1911 to 2011 and arranged them in five sections tracing a hundred years of Chinese art. Metro Line 6 to Chongqing Grand Theatre station is about ten minutes on foot, and the Qiansimen and Huanghuayuan bridges link the site to Yuzhong. It opens Tuesday to Sunday 9:30-17:30, last entry 17:00, closed Mondays, with free admission by ticket.
