Live Your Best Lives
The Fu Baoshi Memorial Hall is located in Yu Shui District, Xinyu City. It was built in 1985 and was originally named Fu Baoshi Exhibition Hall. In 2004, it was renamed Fu Baoshi Memorial Hall by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. In October 2004, the hall was grandly opened to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Fu Baoshi's birth.
In 1985, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Fu Baoshi's death, the newly established Xinyu City, still undergoing a period of rapid development, was a tribute to the city's residents, who named its first large-scale urban park "Baoshi Park," marking the earliest park in my country named after an artist. The Fu Baoshi Exhibition Hall was also built. Since then, the name "Baoshi" has become Xinyu's signature city symbol.
The Fu Baoshi Memorial Hall, hidden in Baoshi Park, is an antique building. Outside the hall, there are green trees. When you walk into the hall, you will see winding corridors, green trees and rockery. It is elegant and quiet. When you are in it, you will feel a sense of leisure and artistic enjoyment.
The subtropical monsoon climate makes it suitable for travel in all four seasons.
The museum boasts four exhibition halls, divided into an introductory hall and three thematic exhibition halls: "Artistic Life," "Artistic Growth," and "The Immortality of Calligraphy." These three thematic exhibition halls, while interconnected yet also independent, use a thematic and chronological format to fully showcase Fu Baoshi's diligence, patriotism, and spirit of reform and innovation.
It is recommended to play for about 2 hours.
