Visiting the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning was a highlight of my trip! This architectural marvel, designed by the renowned Coop Himmelb(l)au, is a futuristic masterpiece. The dual museum blends contemporary art with urban development exhibits, offering a fascinating look at Shenzhen’s rapid growth.
The urban planning section was particularly impressive, featuring a massive scale model of Shenzhen that showcases the city’s ambitious expansion. Meanwhile, the contemporary art galleries hosted thought-provoking exhibitions from both Chinese and international artists.
The building itself—with its striking silver facade, spiraling walkways, and natural light-filled spaces is worth the visit. The rooftop offers panoramic city views, perfect for photos.
Entry was free, and the museum was well-organized, though some English descriptions were limited. Still, it’s a must-visit for **art lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Shenzhen’s evolution. Highly recommended!
