The HEM Art Museum, interwoven with light and shadow, encounters the architectural poetry of Tadao Ando

In the land of Shunde, a building named HEM Art Museum (HEM) stands quietly, another masterpiece by the eighty-year-old 'architectural poet of fair-faced concrete,' Tadao Ando. Mr. Ando, the world-renowned architect, uses 'light' as his brush and concrete as his canvas to create countless astonishing architectural poems. In 1995, he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, becoming a dazzling star in the architectural world. In the design of the HEM Art Museum, Mr. Ando skillfully blends the modernity of a city art museum with the classical charm of Lingnan culture. The architecture presents a harmonious unity of simplicity and complexity, tranquility and liveliness, restraint and exuberance. The central circular structure changes continuously, from inside to outside, from the building to the city, creating a flowing and profound sense of space. The fair-faced concrete double helix staircase elevates the spatial experience to a new height, making one feel as if they are in an endless tunnel of time and space. As a private non-profit art museum, the HEM Art Museum houses over 600 pieces of contemporary art from China and the West, dedicated to showcasing the charm of art that blends tradition with change. High-quality exhibitions are held here all year round, bringing a feast for the eyes and soul to the audience. 🏡Address: No. 6 Meihua Road, Shunde New City, Foshan City Opening Hours: 10:00—18:00 (Closed on Mondays, please follow the WeChat official account for opening hours on public holidays) 🚗Transportation Guide: Take the Metro Line 7 to B2 exit, and walk about 900 meters to reach the museum. 🎫Ticket Information: Adult Ticket: CNY 150/person Double Ticket: CNY 245/two people Triple Ticket: CNY 330/three people Concession Ticket: CNY 85/person (Applicable to students, seniors aged 60-70, specific groups, and local residents of Shunde, etc., please bring relevant documents for on-site verification) Welcome to the HEM Art Museum, experience the light and shadow aesthetics of Tadao Ando, and appreciate the unique charm of Chinese and Western art!
