Museum of Art Pudong by Ateliers Jean Nouvel

The Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) is a candidate to become an international exhibition center since its opening on July 8, 2021. It is located at 2777 Binjiang Avenue, under the famous Oriental Pearl Tower and in front of the historical architecture of the Bund.

The building is spread over a total area of 40,000 square meters, and is largely built in white granite assembled in such a way as to evoke the irregular pattern of frosted glass. The rooms on the top floor and the exhibition space in the atrium will be illuminated with natural ambient light.

As Jean Nouvel himself said, “I hope the museum can integrate naturally into its surroundings, as a harmonic sculpture rather than a building in its own right. I wanted to play with the Huangpu River and the surrounding spaces.”

In fact, the facade overlooking the Bund and the waterway is made of glass, allowing visitors to enjoy the surrounding skyline; in addition, a 53-meter-long bridge extends from the second floor of the museum and connects it to the platform on the east bank of the river.

The museum wants to present itself as a pole with a multiple vocation: exhibition (from a national and international point of view), beauty education, cultural creation and international exchange.

For this reason, the management has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a strategic cooperation with the Board of the Tate, agreeing on a three-year training and consultancy service for the staff of the Museum of Art Pudong.
