【Beijing】Yingjie Hardstone Art Museum

Today, I visited a hidden gem in Beijing—the Yingjie Hardstone Art Museum. 📍Address: 1F & B2, O Gallery Hotel, No. 26 Dongzhimenwai Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing 📍Owner's Private Collection: As soon as you enter, you can feel the owner's deep passion for stones. The collection features rocks from all over the world, each with its own fascinating backstory—more intriguing than a movie 🎞. Some traveled from mysterious mines in South Africa, carrying a wild, primal energy; others were discovered along the ancient Silk Road, whispering tales of thousand-year-old trade legends. Rumor has it the owner traversed half the globe to gather these stones—a real-life "rock hunter." 📍The Owner's 3 Sacred Treasures: A classic European David sculpture, with such finely detailed muscles it seems ready to come alive. A solemn Jesus sculpture, radiating divine light that inspires quiet reverence. And a striking Mao Zedong sculpture, uniquely capturing the leader's charisma. The clash of styles creates something wonderfully harmonious. 📍Stone Mosaic Art Zone: This section is a paradise for detail lovers! Exquisite artworks are meticulously pieced together from tiny, colorful stones 🖼. Up close, each pebble seems purposefully placed—expressions, landscapes, all vividly lifelike. The natural color transitions make it hard to believe they’re not painted. The craftsmanship is mind-blowing! 📍Buddha Sculpture Zone: Step into a serene Buddhist realm. Stone-carved Buddhas smile or meditate, each radiating compassion and tranquility. The carving is exquisite—every fold of clothing, every facial expression, perfectly rendered. Despite the passage of time, their charm endures, inviting visitors to pause and absorb their timeless peace and power. More surprises await your discovery [Cute] #YingjieHardstoneArtMuseum #HiddenMuseumsInBeijing #ArtExhibition
