Red-brick Art Gallery

If you like architecture especially brick architecture you have to come here. The highlight of this place is the architecture and it's garden. The art gallery is rather limited. If you love taking photos, this is a photographer's heaven. The garden in the back is a must visit. There is a Cafe & restaurant at the back overlooking the pond with outdoor seating. Simple menus but if the weather is nice the outdoor seating is a great place to spend an afternoon. The place is not big so about 1-2 hours here on a leisurely schedule.

I think this place is ok. It’s a bit over rated / over hyped by those Instagrammers so I was here to check it out. The architectures in the courtyard behind the main exhibition were more interesting than the exhibition itself... parking is limited so you might want to come early. The entrance fee is a bit steep for what you actually can see in the museum... not sure if I would recommend this place but if you want to post something on Instagram yeah maybe this is a good place to get some pictures...

Nice interesting space designed by Renown scholar Dong yugan. Using large amount of red bricks, the museum achieved a certain nostalgic spatial experiences and played quite masterfully with light/shadow, craftsmanship. It also has a permanent installation by Olafur Elliasson. Tickets are expensive, 130 rmb, so prepare your student id if you have any.... The traffic here however is terrible terrible, far away from any public transportation. Your only traffic means here is to taxi, which takes about 20-30mins to a subway station.

Must-see if you are into architecture/the arts! The building alone is worth the trip out there in the middle of nowhere. The quality of the content obviously depends on the artists on exhibit at the time of your visit. Currently (SEP18) the Andreas Mühe exhibit is highly recommended. The quality of his photography goes under your skin (maybe I am being partial: My German up-bringing certainly helped me understand his often very German subject matter). Anyway, go go go. So far I have been very disappointed by what Beijing has to offer. But this museum is top notch. It would even befit a sophisticated city like Tokyo.

One of the most beautiful contemporary art museums I’ve ever been to. The exhibition is a little small, but carefully curated. Many famous artists and thought provoking works. The garden behind the gallery is well worth exploring too especially if you love architecture. Getting here through the subway was a long walk, so I recommend taking the bus or taxi once you arrive.

Excellent place for pictures. Their garden is nicely designed. The exhibits rotate from time to time and are mainly modern art.

Heaven for architects/architecture fans!

Must see in beijing for contemporary art and architecture lovers
