Beijing 798 Citywalk This art museum is really beautiful and photogenic

🔥 Many long-term residents of Beijing have the habit of visiting exhibitions or checking in during holidays. Personally, I like the quiet environment amidst the hustle and bustle. I am particularly impressed by the UCCA Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. ✔ This art museum stands out among the many museums in the capital, both in terms of its exterior and the content of its exhibitions. Especially with its Bauhaus red brick exterior, the building is a renovated factory from the 1950s. The multi-layered curved glass curtain wall design and the rich content of the exhibitions always attract me to check in as soon as a new exhibition opens. 🌻 In the scorching summer, the best way to escape the heat is to quickly come here to see the exhibition. The cool space instantly calms the restless heart. First, appreciate each piece of art and ponder the artistic mysteries within. Then, walk through each carefully designed space, feeling the artistic atmosphere. It is truly a short "immersive" experience. The current exhibition: Lawrence Weiner Retrospective, is a positive and minimalist exhibition. 🍂 About the time and moment: I strongly recommend going at noon on a sunny day. The key point is that there are fewer people at noon!! The air conditioning is sufficient, so no need to fear the heat. With the support of outdoor light, many places are great for taking photos. The entire exhibition hall is moderately sized, and it takes about 2 hours to walk through. 👣 About the best route and check-in spots: From a photographer's perspective, there are many places in the exhibition hall worth checking in, such as the huge staircase at the entrance, the ultra-high art wall on the first floor, the bookstore, and the cultural and creative store on the second floor. If interested, you can also get a stamp at the entrance as a souvenir. ⭐ About the scenery: The overall interior design style of the exhibition hall feels relatively simple, mainly in red, light yellow, and silver-gray tones. It has some INS style, but the local color sense is also quite hot. When the sun shines into the building at noon in midsummer, the sense of three-dimensionality is strong. 🏡 About the facilities: The art museum is relatively large. In addition to the usual exhibition content, there are enough rest areas set up here all year round. If you are tired of walking, you can also visit the UCCA café and bookstore to relax a bit more. The popular staircase at the entrance might be a favorite spot for children. 📷 About the photo spots: It is recommended to use a large aperture wide-angle zoom lens for taking photos of the exhibition, preferably 24-70mm. 🎤 About transportation: Just navigate directly. It is located in the core area of the 798 Art District, close to the parking lot. 👍 About ticket purchase: Just buy on-site. The staff is enthusiastic. 🔥 Tips to know before checking in: 1. There are many people on weekends, go early. 2. You can store backpacks, cameras need to be handheld. 3. No eating or drinking in the exhibition area. 4. Bring your own book for stamping. 5. The museum café has UCCA's limited latte art, you can ask the waiter to unlock it.
