Opened in 2014, the Ningbo Museum of Contemporary Art is located at No. 100, Heyi Road, Haishu District, on the site of the former Yongjiang Girls' High School.
宁波当代艺术馆位于海曙区和义路100号,甬江女子中学原址之上,于2014年开馆。
Yongjiang Girls' High School was the first girls' high school in China. The only two remaining Western-style buildings on campus, completed in the Republic of China era, 1911-1949, have been well preserved, and the former gymnasium has become the Ningbo Museum of Contemporary Art. The old buildings are aesthetically integrated with the new modern buildings within the 1844 Heyi Art Center, making the whole area full of architectural beauty and forming a space for all-round art and lifestyle experience.
Through cooperation with renowned curators and artists with global influence, the Ningbo Museum of Contemporary Art continues to showcase and promote diverse cultures and the works of outstanding artists in different contexts, driving cultural exchange between the region and the world, and creating a new permanent art and cultural landmark with an innovative concept.
