Overview

The Art Museum of Pudong (MAP) is located in the core area of Shanghai's Lujiazui riverfront, starting construction on September 26, 2017, and officially opening to the public in July 2021.

The MAP is invested, built, and operated by the Lujiazui Group and designed by Jean Nouvel (AJN), with international art exhibition and exchange as the main focus and domestic art exhibition as well, highlighting the four major functions of exhibition, aesthetic education, cultural creation and international exchange, dedicated to building a new landmark of international cultural venues and an important platform for international art exchange in Shanghai.

The material used in the MAP, Shandong white marble, outlines the white territory, whether it is the exterior walls, rooftops, bridges, gardens, or interior floors and walls, this stone is used, but through different polishing methods to build a different texture.

When entering the interior of the museum, "suprematism" is always present. The white walls are like paper, creating pure geometric forms, black straight lines, diagonal lines, and cross lines.

MAP is a 39,724-square-meter building with four floors above ground and two underground, including 13 exhibition halls of various sizes. In addition to the two "mirror halls" facing the Bund, the "X Gallery", which runs 30 meters across the four floors, is also a feature.

Exhibitions & Events

Caravaggio. Wonders of the Italian Baroque, the final exhibition of the year at Museum of Art Pudong, is the first Caravaggio-themed exhibition in China. The exhibition marks the first collaboration between MAP and Galleria Borghese in Rome, the latter boasts the largest gathering of Caravaggio's works in a single collection. With over 60 authentic works on view, among which 6 are iconic masterpieces by Caravaggio and others by over 40 Baroque artists, the exhibition presents a fantastically holistic picture of Baroque art. In the meantime, Baroque architectural and music elements integrated in the scenography collectively enhance the theatrical viewing experience, allowing visitors to immerse fully in the epoch-making and revolutionary aesthetics unique to Baroque.

Caravaggio. Wonders of the Italian Baroque is produced by the Lujiazui Group and co-organized by Museum of Art Pudong and Galleria Borghese in Rome with the collaboration of Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence, Gallerie Nazionali di Arte Antica (Barberini-Corsini), Rome, Banca Popolare di Vicenza S.p.A. in LCA and private collector in Florence. The exhibition receives support and promotion by Consulate General of Italy in Shanghai, Italian Cultural Institute in Shanghai, Ministero della Cultura Italy, Direzione Generale Musei, Ministero della Cultura Italy and MondoMostre Rome. Francesca Cappelletti, Director of Galleria Borghese, and Francesco D'Arelli, Director of Italian Cultural Institute in Shanghai, take the role as curators of the exhibition; Aldo Cibic, renowned Italian designer, co-founder of the Memphis group and Honorary Professor at Tongji University, designs the scenography together with Joseph Dejardin.

Zeng Fanzhi: Old and New is curated within the remarkable and unique architectural space of the Museum. It takes full account of the fascinating interactive effects that emerge when the audience engages with the medium of painting. Through extensive testing of the relationship between the exhibition space and the artworks, over 60 pieces of the artist's most iconic works created in the past 35 years have been thoughtfully chosen. These works are grouped into four interrelated yet distinctive sections, namely: The Early Years, Different Paths, Painting as Contemplation, and finally, Monumentals. They strive to offer the audience four unique viewing experiences.

The new exhibition Xu Bing: Gravitational Arena opened officially on August 12th, 2022 in the Exhibition Hall X of Museum of Art Pudong (MAP). This exhibition was produced by the Lujiazui Group and organized by MAP. Composed of 1,600 metal Square Word Calligraphy characters, with a visual depth of more than 50 meters, this giant installation was tailored by artist Xu Bing for the Exhibition Hall X at MAP, a unique art space across the globe. It is another astonishing piece of commissioned work exhibited at the Museum since its opening.

From June 9, 2023, Museum of Art Pudong will host the first large-scale comprehensive retrospective of the work of photographer Liu Heung Shing, titled "Liu Heung Shing Lens·Era·People". Located on the fourth floor of the museum, the exhibition presents nearly 200 iconic photographic works covering the themes of historical events, portraits of social people, and the real daily life of people in different countries in a specific period. These works are organized in seven sections: "Face", "Body Language", "Timing the Moment", "Benchmarks", "Crowds", "Place", and "Archive". A scene of action will also be recreated onsite to showcase one of Liu’s special photo developing experience, vividly restaging how news images were created, selected and disseminated in his time.
