余德耀美术馆

Yuz Museum Shanghai was founded in 2014 by the Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur and collector Budi Tek as a non-profit museum of contemporary art. Its first home was a former Longhua airport hangar at 35 Fenggu Road in Xuhui District, on the West Bund. Opened on 17 May 2014, that building offered more than 9,000 square metres of floor area, with an enormous column-free hall and high clerestory windows that suited large installations and immersive exhibitions; Rain Room in 2015 and a Giacometti retrospective in 2016 brought the museum international attention. On 17 May 2023 it moved to 8, Lane 123, Panding Road in Qingpu District, within the Panlong Tiandi development. The new building, designed by Zhu Xiaofeng of Scenic Architecture Office, has 1,868.5 square metres and translates the pitched roofs, eaves galleries and courtyards of Jiangnan houses into contemporary galleries, with a route that follows lanes and waterways and views exchanged between inside and out. The collection is built on about 1,500 works held by the Yuz Foundation, centred on Chinese contemporary art of the 1980s and 1990s and large-scale installation, with international contemporary work alongside. In 2024 the museum was included in Shanghai's first batch of star-rated museums. It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 to 19:00 and closes on Mondays; Panlong Road station on Metro Line 17 is within walking distance. Telephone 021-64261901; email info@yuzmshanghai.org.
