A Cultural Voyage: Exploring Guangzhou’s Bai’etan Greater Bay Area Art Center

Nestled at the confluence of three rivers in Guangzhou’s Liwan District, the Bai’etan Greater Bay Area Art Center emerges as a beacon of cultural renaissance. Inaugurated on April 28, 2024, this architectural marvel spans approximately 145,000 square meters, housing three major institutions:  • Guangdong Museum of Art: Featuring 21 exhibition halls, this museum focuses on contemporary art and international collaborations. • Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum: Showcasing traditional crafts, folk customs, and interactive workshops that celebrate the region’s rich cultural tapestry. • Guangdong Literature Museum: Tracing over 2,000 years of literary history, with immersive exhibits dedicated to luminaries like Lu Xun.
