Guangdong Museum of Art — Attraction in Guangzhou City

Free entry, but for the foreigners they need to go and collect the ticket at the side entrance around the corner (not very obvious).

There was a special exhibition on the French artists Bernar Venet - I don't know if it was intentional - as a humorous piece to the museum - but his modern art was pretentious rubbish - taking the pee as we would say in Ireland - still he is French so I guess he can get away with it - but call a spade a spade, black canvas', right angles and squiggles is not "art" - whatever way you want to dress it up. Still though it was enjoyable and we had a good chuckle.

Zhang Peili - from China, had some audio visual work that was very good, sensual and thought provoking, and with a little humour too.

Hsiao Chin, another Chinese artist, was impressive with his abstract art - much more easier on the eye than Venet and easy to understand. More depth to it for sure.

The photography section was particularly enjoyable - highlighting the skills of the photographers but also many amazing scenes from China and of Chinese people.

Other than that I liked the section on traditional Chinese art, and also Xu Bei Hong's drawing of the countryside. To add, the views from the museum, of the city outside, is quite decent - closed off on the day as it was wet - but nice to see the boats slowly going up and down the river with the skyscrapers in the background

Overall there is a lot of art to see here, some great, some not so great, but all of it very interesting, and we spent a good few hours here - well worth a look. Enjoyable and...

I visited in Guangzhou for checking products in the Canton Fair. And I came here ;Guangdong Museum of Art ;to take experience about Chinese art. There were three exhibitions.

You cannot bring in any kind of water. Around the museum, there are wonderful parks. I recommend here for you want to take a very...
