This is the first national art museum to showcase arts and crafts and intangible cultural heritage. Built in nearly three years, it is surrounded by various cultural venues and parks. The building covers an area of 91,126 square meters with six floors. The three-stage façade represents the traditional Chinese culture of heaven, earth and human. Entering the 2nd floor, the spacious lobby brings visual relaxation. The details also have extracted refinement of traditional patterns. The interior decorations are so harmonious that one can't help but exclaim that it deserves to be a national art museum.
