The Guangdong Museum of Art
consists of twelve indoor exhibition halls covering an area of
8,000 square meters as well as an outdoor Sculpture Garden
that is 5,000 square meters in size. Each year, the museum
hosts nearly sixty exhibitions. The museum hosts a variety of
exhibitions from smaller intimate looks at the work of
contemporary artists to exhibitions larger in scale such as
that of sculptor Henry Moore. Recently, the Guangdong Museum
of Art has initiated a Triennial Exhibition of contemporary
art, both Chinese and international. Every year, the
museum displays a large exhibition of the museum’s permanent
collection of sculpture, painting, and ceramic work. The
permanent collection includes contemporary artistic works of
the coastal areas of China and Guangdong Province as well as
work by overseas Chinese artists. In addition, the institution
hosts exhibitions of artwork from various cultures within and
without Asia as well as invitational exhibitions. The
Guangdong Museum of Art also holds great importance to
exhibiting work at artists’ requests every
year.
