Red Brick Art Museum

红砖美术馆

The biggest difference between the Red Brick Art Museum and other art museums is the modern garden carefully built with the image of traditional Chinese gardens, which constitutes a double extension of the visiting experience and architectural structure.
The museum's architecture and garden design were designed by Professor Dong Yugan of the Architecture Research Center of Peking University. Red bricks were used as the basic architectural elements, and efforts were made to avoid cutting during the construction process and to ensure the integrity of each brick, thus forming a unique architectural language and creating a contemporary art museum that grows out of the hustle and bustle and has a unique garden.
The Red Brick Art Museum has a unique way of controlling and expressing light and shadow. It presents different appearances at different times of the day, which is very layered.

This is a famous art museum. I thought the architecture was unique so I didn't need to navigate to the end. I ended up wandering into an equestrian arena and watching a race. The building is not too big or too small. I walked around for 2 hours and it was over. I caught up with Kato Izumi's special exhibition that day. I really like this style. Of course, I also like the black swan in the yard.

By Yozuki Fluffy Sauce |

This is an art gallery worth a day to visit and take photos! In addition to the regular exhibition halls, the larger garden courtyard is a highlight. The vibrant red bricks, gray tiles, and green leaves form a beautiful art palace. The art gallery has many super beautiful angles. The hollow red brick wall is almost a popular spot for taking photos. Sometimes you need to queue up. There are also beautiful cross red brick walls, circular corridors, tiled eaves, and small bridges and flowing water. Because I went there in autumn, although it rained a little, the yellow leaves and red bricks on the ground were particularly set off. The wet weather did not affect it at all. The sun still passed through the brick wall, leaving geometric shadows, as if the weather did not affect everyone's mood for taking photos. Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of looking for a good corner to shoot. It was also fun to shuttle through the spaces built with red bricks. The space you saw when you first entered the art gallery was an amphitheater with a large round hole in the middle. The bottomless water flow was constantly stirred to form a vortex and made a rumbling sound. On both sides of the theater were the exhibition spaces. To be honest, it only took 5 minutes to see the exhibition, but I spent most of the day in this red brick courtyard.

The further you go, the more diverse the scenery is. There is a large lake and black swans. There are more Jiangnan garden landscapes here, and you can walk around freely.

The museum also has a dining area, and the restaurant and cafe are also very uniquely designed. You can have lunch at noon and continue shopping in the afternoon; art exhibits can be purchased in the design store at the entrance

By Clever Inuyasha |

I have been to many art museums in Beijing, both paid and free, but I still love the Red Brick Art Museum the most. It is really easy to take photos here, with a beautiful small lotus pond and black swans. There are regular exhibitions of different artists. The first time I saw it was because Lin Chiling took a group of photos here. I thought it was so beautiful, so I searched the location online and came here. Now that it has become popular, the ticket price has increased a lot and there are a lot more people. If you want to take photos, try to avoid peak travel.

By I'm your uncle cat. |

I want to give a lot of praise to the red bricks and this garden-style art gallery that presents a particularly soft Chinese style. The combination of red bricks and green bricks of different styles does not seem out of place here at all. They unscrupulously flaunt their temperament, attracting various exhibitions to be held here, and they stand quietly here, waiting for groups of people who come here to visit.

After entering, there are small red bricks of different heights scattered around the amphitheater for people to rest. When there are fewer tourists, you can take panoramic photos, and any shutter click will result in a blockbuster picture.

Coming out of the exhibition hall and walking towards the backyard, there are many stairs that can be climbed, where you can experience the fun of climbing onto the roof as a child. The red bricks and green bricks also begin their transition here, from the unpredictable changes of light and shadow to the charm of Jiangnan gardens.

The Red Brick Art Museum is located in the No. 1 International Art District in the northeast of Chaoyang District. The biggest difference between the Red Brick Art Museum and other art museums is the modern garden carefully built with the imagery of traditional Chinese gardens, which constitutes a double extension of the visiting experience and architectural structure.

A small spot suitable for taking beautiful photos. The ticket price is a bit expensive, 120 yuan/person. And the ticket price varies a lot, I don't know why. There are two floors in the interior. The attraction of the main exhibition itself is not as great as the attraction of the building. There are buildings that integrate Suzhou gardens, garden scenery of Jiangnan water towns, and many peculiar houses in the back. The route is particularly interesting. The trails are quiet and like a maze. It's fun to walk slowly and explore by yourself. It's especially suitable for concave shapes. Be sure to bring a companion who can take pictures!

Note: It opens at 10 o'clock. I went there early, so I walked around for about 10 minutes before entering!

By Yabao |

The Red Brick Art Museum is located in Hegezhuang, northeast of Beijing. The ticket price is 80 yuan, and the full price ticket should be 120 yuan. It is estimated that the ticket price will be adjusted according to the exhibition. The staff will inform in advance that only a few exhibitions are open recently and ask if you want to enter. I think most people come here to take pictures and just visit the exhibition.



The Red Brick Art Museum is probably one of the most popular art museums in Beijing in recent years. It is a unique and poetic art museum built with ordinary red bricks. The Red Brick Art Museum has two parts, the main exhibition hall and the landscape courtyard. One part is an indoor art museum with red bricks as the basic element, and the other part is an outdoor garden landscape created by blue bricks and plants.



Red Brick is not only an art gallery, but also a garden courtyard, bringing a unique and new aesthetic to the audience.

By Xiao Zhe Niu loves Beijing |

The weather was great when I went there. It was blue sky and white clouds and not too hot. Wearing white clothes with a small jacket is very suitable for indoor exhibitions and photos. The red brick courtyard is not available every day because sometimes there will be wedding banquets. You need to consult the staff in advance. It is suitable for outdoor photos on sunny days.

By Miss Law |

I have a good impression of Impression City. The space is large enough to dilute the flow of people. There are not many brands but more restaurants. However, you can still visit the lifestyle center, bookstore and imported supermarket.

By Chu Yunfei QQ |

This is a very distinctive building. Although it is called an art gallery, the building itself is a work of art. The building has a square structure. The lines are clear and have a sense of design, which fully reflects the concept of Chinese philosophy and natural cognition. Some places highlight the cantilever, some places show the light and shadow, and some places show the sharpness of the corners. In addition to the main exhibition hall, the back garden is also unique and full of design.

By Martian User |

I was recommended to go to an art museum. It is divided into two floors. It is not very big, but it has a literary atmosphere. There are some art exhibitions on the first floor, with videos and text introductions, most of which are from abroad... They are all made of red bricks, outlining different textures, very suitable for taking pictures. There is a small garden at the back, which has the charm of Jiangnan. There is a black swan in the lake. It is a holy place to check in. I feel that the ticket price of 130 is a bit expensive

By Cathy Aiwanting |

It is a place worth visiting! [God said, let there be light, and there was light]. I have always been a person who particularly likes sunshine and the changes of light and shadow under the sun. I spent a day shooting in the Red Brick Art Museum, placing the characters to be photographed under light and shadow, and I got a lot of ideal photos!

By Walker |

If you like taking photos, this is the right place! The architectural design and the light and shadow are very artistic.

By Lushan Shenglongba |

There is a very well-designed museum one intersection away from Maquanying subway station. It is suitable for internet celebrities to take photos. Sometimes there are also some art exhibitions. The 100 yuan ticket is not cheap. When the weather is good, there is still a beautiful view of blue sky, white clouds, red bricks and green leaves.

By Zhao Xiaoben |

The ticket prices vary depending on the exhibition. You can see various interesting exhibitions inside. It is also a great place to take photos. There are also many movie shooting locations here.

By Wei |

It is really suitable for taking photos. It is very beautiful and can be done all year round. It is just a bit cold to take photos outside the art museum in winter, but it is worth it for the beautiful scenery.

By jkmeil |

A privately built art gallery with a unique design, it is a great place to take photos.

By Miss Shuxian |

The art gallery is quite large, with red brick and blue tile buildings inside, which is very suitable for taking pictures. There happened to be some art exhibitions going on, so the ticket was relatively expensive, costing 120 yuan. It took me quite a long time to take pictures inside, and then I appreciated the art exhibition, but found that I basically couldn't understand it. I guess it's because I don't have much artistic talent. I am satisfied with taking pictures, but I can't appreciate art, so the ticket is a bit expensive for me, and the round-trip transportation is not very convenient, which is a waste of time.

By Pig is silly |

Not bad, there are many small rooms inside, but it's a bit expensive, 120rmb, but it has a very artistic atmosphere. There is a screening room inside, you can sit down and meditate, it feels very good, and there are many exhibitions to see, so you can be influenced by art~

By HHWong |

As soon as you enter the door, you will feel the artistic atmosphere... Actually, we don't really understand it, but this white wall is very suitable for taking pictures.

In fact, I can’t understand anything displayed in the indoor exhibition hall.

The red wall is perfect for taking photos, highly recommended.

By Ms. Little Lacey |

The main body of the museum is built entirely of red bricks, and the design combined with light and shadow is very beautiful.

The square shape does not prevent the circle from forming. There are many round arches in the park, which seems to be inspired by the Suzhou Gardens.

When we were leaving, a ballet girl in a tutu was about to take a photo. She had just done two poses when she was stopped by the park staff. Because changing clothes for taking photos is not allowed in the park, it is understandable. They also asked everyone to delete the photos. We did not delete them, so they respected the park and did not release them. But it was really beautiful.

The wall here is a red brick wall, but it is not a simple red brick wall.

There are red leaves, vines, light and shadow, and scattered red bricks. Isn't it beautiful?

The interesting thing about red bricks is that they are not flat, but have steps and heights. This kind of staggered layout is very interesting.

By lxltyhty |

The biggest difference between the Red Brick Art Museum and other art galleries is in its architectural structure: the Red Brick Art Museum gives me the feeling of a carefully crafted modern garden.

The Red Brick Art Museum is a very unique place, but you must come on a sunny day. Under the sunlight, the colors, lines, light and shadows, and shapes presented by the ordinary red brick buildings give people a beautiful enjoyment. It is a great piece of architectural art! Boys and girls holding SLR cameras can be seen everywhere creating art here.

There is a western restaurant in the museum, the food is pretty good.

It's a good place to take pictures and see girls, but there are not many exhibits and the cost performance is not high enough.

By Wine. |

[Red Brick Art Museum] The art museum is built entirely of red bricks. With the light and shadow of the evening and the background of the creeper, the red is more intense. The yard is not small and there are many places to take pictures. I saw many young ladies coming here to take pictures.

[The Tao is Hidden and Nameless] was the first exhibition I saw after entering the venue. The entire space, in a yellow monochrome color scheme, had a very Nordic style.

[Izumi Kato] is a very natural artist. The characters in his works actually have similar faces, but you can also see the differences between them. The artist likes the combination of characters and nature, whether it is the fusion of the painting itself and plants or the materials used, such as various waste fabrics, stones and leathers at the creation site, etc. The author also likes to use characters to express the relationship between men and women. The largest exhibition hall has 12 non-woven works, which are 6 pairs of disrupted lovers. It is rare to use the same elements so thoroughly.

[Mu Ya Photography Exhibition] The exhibition hall is based on white, black and blue. There is a photo of the photographer's father above your head when you enter the exhibition hall. After listening to the explanation, I just felt that this photographer has a very wide network of contacts... His works, whether political, humanistic or landscape, all reveal a sense of desolation and look a little sad.

By Xia Meng sees the world |

When I first saw the Red Brick Art Museum, I was struck by its stunning beauty. It is more like a quiet courtyard displaying artworks, presenting a strong sense of contemporary art and Western style.

Red bricks are a very tacky material in ordinary buildings, but here, they are piled up into a unique and elegant artistic building, showing a quiet and elegant atmosphere in its rich charm...

The indoor works are displayed in harmony with the outdoor landscape, thus forming a unique architectural language.

The voice and collision of contemporary art and classical culture is like a silent and grand "banquet", rich and full of surprises.

By Song on the boat |

I should have been one of the first people to go there. I thought it was very remote, there were very few people, and it was still very beautiful. There was no entrance fee. Now it’s been four years and things have changed.

By No investigation |

Another photo spot in Chaoyang District, very close to Maquanying Outlet, you can go shopping after strolling. The ticket is 100, which I think is a bit expensive. The building has a sense of design. There are still many people on weekends. You have to queue up to take pictures in the beautiful places. There are several parking spaces at the door, so you need to go early when driving.

By These |

This may be the best art museum I have ever visited in Beijing. It completely exceeded my expectations. This museum is neither big nor small. The exhibition hall has two floors. There is a garden outside the exhibition hall. The density of buildings in this garden is very high, and the styles are different. I actually felt like I was in Monument Valley when I was wandering inside. Today, Red Brick mainly exhibits Kato Izumi's exhibition, paintings and sculptures. I watched the video of his interview in the main hall three or four times, but his artistic feeling is still very weird, with bottomless eyes, alien bodies, and weird colors. But I am still fascinated by his drafts. I feel that things drawn with pencils are full of vitality.

By Ariel |

Beautiful building, great exhibition. I like the exhibition room with a big mirror on the roof, it's like a dream

By Tingting |

I saw some nice photos online, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet a girl and took some photos for him. I really like this place. It's a very artistic place for taking photos.

By Viola yedoensis |

Change subway lines four times, transfer to a bus, and walk 200 meters, and only true love can arrive.

By 🌸One leaf orchid |

It's worth a visit for those who travel by themselves! It's a little far from the city, and the tickets are a little expensive, 120 yuan/person for adults and 90 yuan/person for students. The scenery inside is beautiful, with the flavor of Jiangnan gardens, and there are scenery everywhere. Friends who like to take selfies can take pictures here. There are black car drivers on the roadside after exiting the subway station. If there are many people, it's 5 yuan/person, and you can also call a ride.

By Sawyer |

It's a place with a very artistic atmosphere. I have to admire that every piece can be used for taking pictures. I feel like I can't take enough pictures. It's great

By Gong Xiaochu |

The Red Brick Art Museum is the filming location that the little chef has long been fond of, and it is also the first place that the little chef and the chef's wife punched in Beijing. As a new Internet celebrity punching place, the Red Brick Art Museum is full of characteristics, and the various shapes made of red square bricks are the only choice for concave shapes. The circular patio of the main hall and the perfect perspective effect of the "Eight Links" are even more famous. The usual tickets are cheaper, but if you catch up with the exhibition, the ticket price will increase. When we went there, it happened to be Olafur Eliasson's largest solo exhibition in China so far at the Red Brick Art Museum-"Olafur Eliasson: The Tao is Hidden and Nameless", and the ticket price of the museum has risen to 160 per ticket! It is really beautiful, and it is also suitable for taking pictures. It is worth the trip.

By William Siterbourne |

The two of us took the subway and got off at Maquanying Station, which was about 1 kilometer to Red Brick. There was an outlet just outside the subway station. It was quite hot that day, so we went into Starbucks to buy a cold drink and walked to the Red Brick Art Museum.

The venue is quite attractive as soon as you enter it, and you definitely won't feel that the scenery is not worth the price of the ticket. The normal ticket price is 120 yuan, but with our student ID it was 90 yuan. After checking the tickets, we began this beautiful photo-taking trip.

There are several venues indoors, each of which is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. If you like taking pictures, remember to go with two people. Also, please do not use the flash. There are some related explanations on the second floor.

There are various artistic walls and small gardens outside. Many people are taking pictures with their cameras. It is more suitable for young people to come and play and take pictures.

Well, that's basically it, I love this place.

By Groundhog |

There will be different exhibitions at different times, and the red brick buildings inside are very special.

By The four beasts go home |

It's worth visiting. Friends who like taking pictures will definitely find inspiration!

By Xi Ma loves traveling |

It has been raining heavily in Beijing for three days because of the Daoyin Wuming exhibition. The art exhibition is wonderful, and the red bricks and green leaves washed by the rain are also colorful. There is a cafe and restaurant in the courtyard outside the museum, and the food is also good. It is probably a place where you can stroll around and stop for most of the day.

By Lazy Cat's Tea |

Very good scene, beautiful and suitable for taking pictures, but it is quite far and requires patience~

By Liu Fei |

I went there for the red wall. It is indeed a very artistic place. I didn't expect the exhibition to be so good. The art flow that is difficult to describe is integrated into the three-dimensional geometric changes of light, shadow, fog and clouds. It is worth the trip, but the ticket is too expensive... In addition, you must not go alone! It is a place especially suitable for taking pictures. I feel upset if I can only take selfies.😂

By Round and round~ |

The biggest feature of the recording venue is the various lights and shadows. It's pretty good and worth seeing.

By Brick |

Although the location is a bit remote, it is not to be missed for those who like to see architecture. I thought that only the exhibition area in front was a little disappointing, but I didn't expect that the building of the museum itself is also a work of art. There is also a large area of ​​interesting garden architecture and buildings with a western style behind the exhibition area, which is very interesting.



Recently there is Eliasson's Taoism exhibition. Tickets are cheaper on weekdays. I asked the staff and they said the ticket prices vary depending on the works on display. The student tickets I bought on weekdays are 90.



The exhibition itself is not as attractive as the architecture. At the back there is a building that combines Suzhou gardens with Xinjiang style. It has both the garden scenery of Jiangnan water towns and houses like those for drying grapes in Xinjiang. The route is particularly interesting, like a maze. It is very fun to walk slowly and explore by yourself.



There are also several arches like the popular photo spots in Hong Kong, as well as many places suitable for taking photos that are worth visiting.



There is also Teacher Ai Dajin's Miscellaneous Bookstore about 20 minutes' walk away. It is a public library in a creative park. There are not many people on weekdays, but the books are very old. If you really want to read them, you have to calm down and read them slowly.

By Xia Yueba |

The Red Brick Art Museum is a place that my Beijing friends are unfamiliar with. Only outsiders like me who don't like to hang out in crowds can find it. I searched for photos of the Red Brick Art Museum online. All the buildings are made of red bricks, which are ventilated and light-permeable, showing the beauty of light and shadow. When local friends heard that it was in Cuigezhuang, they thought it was very remote and said, "Okay... As long as you are happy." In fact, it doesn't feel too far if you change a few subway lines. We went to several exhibitions inside, walked slowly, looked slowly, and took pictures slowly. It was a relaxing day.

In addition to the photography exhibition, the Red Brick Art Museum itself is also a beautiful complex of buildings. I collected two brochures in the museum as a souvenir. The circle is a popular photo spot. In fact, we waited for more than ten minutes. We were all like-minded people who came to the popular photo spot to check in.

The advantage of being away from the commercial area is that it is quiet. People who come to visit the exhibition and take photos chat in a tacit understanding in a low voice, find a place where the sun can shine to read books and listen to music, or wander around and take pictures like us.

How to get there. Introduction. Very nice place. I have written a guide. If you need it, please contact me. QQ234385800, WeChat. Thanks for sharing

By Black popcorn |

There are many beautiful little corners outdoors

It was still very cold when we went there

There are many small animals in the park~

It should be nice to be covered with creepers

Taking photos in winter is cold and quiet

I plan to go there again in a while. It's a bit bleak in winter, but this is a place suitable for all seasons.

It would be better if there was an exhibition

If you like art and don't like crowds, then I would like to recommend a place, the Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing. It can be said to be a popular art museum on the Internet. The place is very beautiful and is known as the most beautiful courtyard-style art museum in the group.

This is a garden-style art museum equipped with a contemporary landscape courtyard, which is the biggest feature that makes the Red Brick Art Museum stand out among many art museum buildings. Here you can get a brand new aesthetic experience, not only can you watch the indoor works on display, but also enjoy the various outdoor landscapes. It provides a variety of possibilities different from traditional art museums.

At the end of the film "Sewing Machine Band", there is a little girl dreaming about the future in a house surrounded by red bricks. And I have been to this place, which is the Red Brick Art Museum.

By Red carp, green carp and donkey |

Exceeded expectations! Much better than those national museums!!

By Dream Traveler |

I thought it was just an ordinary art gallery filled with artworks, but I didn't expect the gallery itself is also a work of art. All the facades are made of red bricks, and the backyard is even more ingenious, with mountains and ridges. Later I realized why an art gallery was in such a remote place. It turned out to be a problem of land area.

By safely |

It feels good~ It would be better to go there in spring! I didn't encounter any exhibitions. The place is not big. I can basically finish the tour in an hour. It's very nice to take pictures~ But my boyfriend's skills seem to need to be improved 😳 I will go there again in summer~

By The wine cooker at the lakeside pavilion |

I didn't understand the exhibition, but the garden area outside was OK, a place for taking photos... There were a few swans and ducks in the small pond.

By Watermelon |

In addition to the artworks in its collection, the Red Brick Art Museum’s unique architectural style has also made it popular on WeChat Moments in the past two years, because it looks really good in photos!

By Liu Guaiguai |

The Red Brick Art Museum is located in the northeast of Chaoyang District, a little far from the hotel where we stayed. The museum opens at 10:00 am. When we arrived, there were already many photography enthusiasts waiting in front of the door. There are some art exhibitions inside the museum, and you can also put on headphones to listen to classical music. What is more attractive is the architecture of the museum, which uses red bricks as the basic element, which is more like walking in a garden to appreciate art.

By Sweet lady's exquisite life |

Every city needs exquisite art galleries. They are not just containers for preserving and displaying artworks, but also need to reflect the city's style, character and cultural accumulation with unique architectural design and imaginative space. Especially those private art galleries full of personality and characteristics. For example: Red Brick Art Museum.



The Red Brick Art Museum was founded by entrepreneur and collector Yan Shijie and his wife Cao Mei. The architectural design was undertaken by famous architect and professor of Peking University Architecture Research Center Dong Yugan. It uses red bricks as the basic elements, supplemented by the use of blue bricks in some buildings. It combines the mood of Jiangnan gardens and the atmosphere of northern gardens. It has the simple beauty of original bricks and stones, and the art of light and shadow.



The corners of the bricks on the wall are the most obvious feature of this building, especially the corners of the wall. In the lake in the backyard, there is a pair of loving black swans and a few ducks as companions. The blue sky and white clouds, red bricks and green tiles are full of vitality. Even as a novice who can't understand various contemporary performance art exhibitions, I can still be moved by the most straightforward architectural beauty. This is more like a park than an art gallery.

By Secret |

The location is a bit remote, a little further than 798, and it's quite big, enough for fun hahaha! But it's very suitable for artistic photos~ Remember that it's closed on Mondays! The light and red bricks are great, there may be a little more people on weekends, so make the most of your time~

The ticket is 60 yuan. When I went there, I caught up with the performance art photo exhibition. I figured out one thing: performance art is to take behaviors that others cannot understand or even despise to the extreme. I will never understand it in my life. Compared with the exhibition inside, the building outside is more attractive. Many people come here to take pictures. I suggest that friends who come later go in the afternoon, when there will be fewer people and the light at 3 or 4 o'clock is also suitable for shooting.

The Red Brick Art Museum is unique in design and construction, making full use of and displaying the simplicity and beauty of red bricks. The entire building is full of wonderful changes in light and shadow. The works on display are different from those in ordinary art galleries. The selection and creation of the exhibits are very avant-garde and experimental.

There are many art galleries in Beijing, scattered across various areas, but Red Brick is undoubtedly one of them that is worth a detour and a special visit.

Rather than an art museum, this place is more like a highly ornamental landscape garden. It took nearly two years for the architect to build this garden-style art museum with red bricks as the basic elements and some blue bricks. Its distinctive architectural features and viewing experience make it stand out among a number of modern art museums in Beijing.



(Entrance Hall) The spacious, simple but not simplistic design makes people slow down their pace from the first moment they enter the museum... In fact, there is no shortage of excellent works by domestic or international artists on display in Red Brick, but if you look at it for its own sake, I believe this is also one of the places worth referring to and visiting for architecture enthusiasts.

(Exhibition Hall 5) In addition to the garden, the museum has 8 exhibition spaces in terms of architecture. In addition to the main red brick design style, the visual breath of color is given to a pure white. From time to time, outstanding artists from home and abroad are exhibited. In October, the artist Xing Danwen’s solo exhibition "Prisoner of Love" and the "Germany 8-German Art in China" exhibition "Pioneer-German Informel Art" mentioned before in 798

Each red brick retains its original appearance. Looking straight, looking down, looking up, every time you change a different angle, you will gain a new feeling...

By the way, in the art shop next to the ticket office, there is a record book about the construction process of the Red Brick Art Museum. I suggest you take some time to read it. Ummm... You can read it when you enter the park. I found the book when I was about to leave. After flipping through it, I went back and took a look at it again. It will give you a lot of information. Every brick and tile of the red brick actually has a story... Remember this exclusive tip! Three stars to remind everyone!

The beauty of red bricks lies in the whole, in the details, in the corners, and around you. Come and see it for yourself. Believe me, it's worth it!

The Red Brick Art Museum is located in the No. 1 Hegezhuang International Art District in the northeast of Beijing. It was founded by entrepreneurs and collectors Yan Shijie and Cao Mei. It was initially completed and put into trial operation in December 2012 and officially opened to the public in May 2014. It has been very popular in the past two years, not only because of its strong sense of design, but also because some of its exhibitions have a great influence on people who like art. It attracts many tourists to appreciate and take pictures, but there are more people who do not understand art and take pictures here.

I really like this place. I was amazed by the red bricks as soon as I entered the hall! The shapes of red bricks in various places in the park are combined with light and shadow, adding an artistic atmosphere! The blue brick moon gate corridor is decorated with creepers, which is antique! This is a good place to take photos! There is a pair of loving black swans in the lake in the backyard, and there are also a few ducks as companions. But there are too many mosquitoes by the lake, so you must take anti-mosquito measures! There was no exhibition when I came, so the ticket was discounted, otherwise 60 yuan a ticket would be a bit expensive. Fortunately, I bought the restaurant's double set meal in a group purchase, so the ticket was free!

A very unique private art gallery~ The geometric changes of red bricks, green bricks and green tiles plus the combination of light and shadow effects~ Very interesting~ The main building is red bricks inside and outside~ The garden is gray bricks and green tiles~ Both the overall layout and every corner are very design-oriented~ You can take a picture and it will be a scene~ There is also an avant-garde art exhibition~ Unfortunately, many aunts came to take various photos and it was very noisy~ The location is relatively remote and can be reached by taking Metro Line 15 and riding a bicycle~ The ticket is 50 yuan~ It turns out that it is free on the first Thursday of each month~ But this preferential policy was cancelled after May 1st, 2017~

A museum suitable for taking photos, which can make ordinary red bricks full of artistic atmosphere

A small reminder: The free ticket event on the first Thursday of every month has been cancelled

The ticket price of 60 is a bit expensive. The place is small but the architecture is very unique.

Going there on a sunny day is especially suitable for taking pictures. The red walls, blue bricks, and green leaves are all full and plump under the light. As an art museum, it is more like a park, and the exhibits are relatively limited. The ticket is 60, which I think is a bit expensive.

The weather was very good and the sky was blue on the day I went to the Red Brick Art Museum. When I saw a field of red bricks on the bus, I knew I had arrived at the museum. There weren't too many people on the weekend, so I strolled around the garden by myself, feeling the charm of garden art, the art of light and shadow, and the beauty of life... When I looked back at the street coming out of the art museum, I felt like I was on the streets of Vietnam. It was a quiet summer day, even though I had never been to Vietnam, hahaha...

The red brick structure is amazing. I thought there was only one exhibition hall, but I didn't expect there was a 6,000-square-meter garden behind it. It was a surprise. There are views everywhere. I came here just to take pictures. I want to go again in winter to see the plants in winter~

This art museum is worth visiting, not only the exhibitions inside, but also the architectural landscape are worth savoring.

The ticket price is 40, which is a bit expensive. The exhibition hall displays photos. The courtyard is nice and suitable for taking photos.

I think Red Brick is really worth a visit except that it is a little far away. If I lived nearby, I would definitely go there every day.

By Escape Xiaoxue |

It's unique and a different experience! But the tickets are a bit expensive, but you can choose to go there on a free day!

A great place to take photos. The various architectural structures and light and shadows make for great photos.

Actually, it's not really that bad that it only has three stars, but as an art museum, it's really disappointing to have only eight exhibition halls. Many of the exhibits are artists' performance art events printed on the wall (making people feel like they are watching a physical PPT) or modern art history (a large wall is full of video screenshots, can I get some resources to watch the video directly?). Personally, I think it's more meaningful to popularize, not to appreciate. The outdoor mountains and waters, which I wanted to add points for, are lifeless in winter, and the atmosphere may be better in summer.

It's a little bit artistic, suitable for making films. Sometimes there will be exhibitions.

My friend and colleague came here to take photos. After talking about this place, I felt that the red brick buildings were very stylish and not crowded, which was really suitable for taking photos. I hurried here with my girlfriend. The overall view was good. It was divided into indoor and outdoor areas, and the adult ticket was 40 yuan per ticket. There were many exhibition halls indoors, mostly white, and the red brick buildings that could be used for taking photos were also alternating. In fact, my favorite thing was the beams of light arranged in the gaps between the red brick rain glass in the room in the sun.

Some of the outdoor buildings are made of blue bricks, and you can walk to the second floor via narrow stairwells. It looks a bit desolate in winter, but it also has its own unique style.

I like this place very much. It exceeded my expectations. I recommend going there on sunny days.
