Alexandra Kharitonova
★★★★★3 months agoVery nice and fascinating museum of contemporary art on the opposite site of the Beijing WTC and iconic buildings like CCTV headquarters. Three buildings with exhibitions of local artists, filled with installations, minimalism and painting, one of the best places to understand national canon, family friendly, kids were allowed to enter for free, very polite, welcoming and professional staff, mostly students, everyone spoke English.
