Visit the 'He Xiangning Art Museum'

The He Xiangning Art Museum was established and opened on April 18, 1997, and is China's first national art museum named after an individual. Built in 1995 and opened to the public in 1997, the He Xiangning Art Museum is dedicated to collecting, displaying, and researching the works of Ms. He Xiangning. The He Xiangning Art Museum is located in Shenzhen, and one is immediately attracted by its exterior upon first sight. It's uncertain whether it's the museum's unique presence as a hidden gem in the city, or the quiet and restrained temperament it exudes. Before even stepping inside, one can't help but exclaim in awe: 'What a peaceful and quiet art museum, how wonderful!' I vaguely remember feeling the same way when I first saw the Mu Xin Art Museum, a long-lost feeling—a peaceful and quiet art museum, truly rare. The current exhibition in the museum is the first phase of the '20th Century Chinese Women's Art' theme exhibition at the He Xiangning Art Museum, featuring works by He Xiangning and the Chinese Women's Calligraphy and Painting Society, presenting a picture of the Chinese women's art movement in the first half of the 20th century. The exhibition is divided into three parts: The first part 'National Awakening, Women's Independence' focuses on He Xiangning's early and middle artistic experiences. The second part 'Embracing Diversity, Dazzling Brilliance' mainly displays works by seven female painters from the Chinese Women's Calligraphy and Painting Society, including Lu Xiaoman, Li QiuJun, Wu Qingxia, Chen Xiaocui, Zhou Lianxia, Feng Wenfeng, and Gu Fei. The third part 'European Influence Eastward, Surpassing the Ancients' serves as an extension and supplement, introducing four female painters of the same period who were dedicated to exploring the integration of Chinese and Western art: Fang Junbi, Yang Yinfang, Guan Zilan, and Yu Feng. Women living in the twenty-first century no longer have to suffer the pain of 'foot binding', they can enjoy 'freedom of dress', receive education, pursue career development, and participate in politics... All of these are thanks to individuals like Ms. He Xiangning, regardless of gender, whose efforts and innovations have made everything today possible. He Xiangning Art Museum
