🎨A must for art students! 130,000 authentic works of art from old Beijing

This time in Beijing I finally checked in at the National Art Museum of China that I had always longed for! After walking around the 5 floors until your legs are tired, save this freshly-made guide 👇 🌟【A Palace of Art that Travels Through Time and Space】 The National Art Museum of China, founded in 1958, is the first national art palace in New China. The golden plaque inscribed by Mao Zedong himself is very impressive, and the traditional building with yellow glazed tiles and red walls is so beautiful that you can take a quick photo of it! The museum houses 130,000 art treasures, from Qi Baishi's ink paintings to Picasso's oil paintings, where art from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, collides to create sparks. 🚇【Direct access by subway】 📍No. 1 Wusi Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing Take Line 8, exit A at National Art Museum of China Station, and walk for 3 minutes to get there! 🎫【0 yuan exhibition guide】 ✅Free but reservation required! Make an appointment with your real name on the "National Art Museum of China" official account 1 day in advance. 6,000 places per day, first come first served (including European passports) ✅ Elderly people over 60 years old / military personnel can enter the museum by swiping their ID cards ✅Attention students! Although admission is free, special exhibitions may require a ticket ⚠️Reservations are divided into time slots.

Permanent exhibition "Collection Revitalization": Xu Beihong's "Running Horse", Wu Guanzhong's "Water Village" and other treasures of the museum are all here 2. Hidden benefit: You can get the 60th anniversary stamp for free at the service desk on the 1st floor. Don’t miss it if you bring a notebook! 📸【Check-in point with 200% output rate】 ❶ Building appearance: red walls and yellow tiles + symmetrical structure, very impressive when viewed from above ❷ Fifth floor observation deck: overlooking the entire art museum, with excellent light and shadow ❸ Sculpture Garden: 3,000 square meters of outdoor exhibition area, it’s super cool to take photos with giant sculptures ❹ Special exhibition check-in wall: Each exhibition has a themed photo area, and the latest Dunhuang Light and Shadow Exhibition has an amazing background! 💡TIP: Wearing solid-colored clothes will make the photos look better. The lighting in the exhibition hall is warm yellow, so it is recommended to turn on the portrait mode. ⏰ Opening hours are 9:00-17:00 daily, no admission after 16:00, closed on Mondays (except statutory holidays) ⚠️Notes ・Selfie sticks/lighters are not allowed, but can be stored for free ・Eating and drinking are prohibited in the exhibition hall, but there is a cafe and a creative store in the museum This spring, let us feel the artistic heartbeat of China between ink and color and Western oil painting.
