The Chengdu Art Museum (Chinese: 成都美术馆) is an art museum with a collection of artworks,[1] based in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan, China.[2] It is run by the Chengdu Art Academy.
History
The Chengdu Art Academy was founded in 1980 within the Chengdu Culture Park.[3] In 1983, it moved to historic buildings at 59 Zhijishi Street. The style of the buildings is a typical quadrangle of western Sichuan historic houses dating from the late Qing dynasty. In 2007, the premises were approved as a Sichuan Provincial Heritage Conservation Site. A project to protect and maintain the buildings was completed in 2008. The buildings were opened by the academy as the Chengdu Art Museum.[4] During October to December 2020, the historic museum buildings were closed to the public for maintenance.[5]
On 6 November 2021, at the Tianfu Art Park and at the start of the 2021 Chengdu Biennale, the Chengdu Art Academy launched two new contemporary art museum buildings in the park,[6][7] namely the Chengdu Tianfu Art Museum and the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art, forming a new focus for the Chengdu Art Museum.
